Can’t strain my mind thinking about it, so I’ll say sure, he’s Bond. He was amused by the orange Volvo if I’m remembering the movie correctly.

I’ve heard this theory before but it’s been years. I could buy into it though.

It’s my favorite movie theory ever.

I could definitely buy it, and truth be told, it fits perfectly if you want to maintain a coherent timeline.
As pointed out, Mason's capture and incarceration fits perfectly into the period where Connery leaves and Roger Moore steps in.
Various nefarious villains know of Bond by name, but not by face. Hence, the iconic introduction, where he casually drops the "Bond, James Bond" on them.
So British intelligence keeps the lead 00 guy as "Bond", carrying on the aura of invincibility- and also maintains deniability for the guy in US custody. "Bond" is on a mission to wherever, so you OBVIOUSLY don't have him locked up.
This might also explain why "Bond" continuously gets reintroduced to "Felix Leiter", the CIA operative he works with. Same type of codename, used to indicate to "Bond" that this guy isn't a rookie, he's on the same tier. And again, a different guy in a lot of the movies. Seems like as many Leiters as there are Bonds.
As for why he'd be kept in lockdown, it would be clear Leiter wouldn't reveal who he is unless requested; and it would be equally clear that whoever this dude was, he was "elite and important".

All those points might work except for the last one. I think he called him sailor because he came in with Navy Seals.

I thought the Connery Bond was hitting 2-3 random chicks, in addition to the good girl he ended up with, the good girl who dies, and the bad girl... in each movie. And that's not accounting for the time between movies.

Yes. It was written that way and the timeliness match up.

And oldie but an goodie.
I can see it.

I always assumed it was since the first time I watched it.
