So one of Ben's secret identities is Dean Moriarty from Jack Kerouac's "On The Road." So is Ben trying to tell us that he is really Neal Cassady? (interesting that Jack K.'s character's last name is "Paradise.")

OR

Is Ben Dr. (since he is a vetrinarian?) Moriarty, arch enemy of Sherlock Holmes?

Screencap of the ID.

Dean Moriarty is also interesting in the Jack Kerouac light because Kerouac wrote "The Dharma Bums" (dharma definition = the right way of living; the way to higher truths)

Definately Dean Moriarty, the writers are throwing in literary references left right and centre. The evil Twin, Brief history of time etc etc. whether its a clue or just a game the writers are playing, remains to be seen.

Is there a closer view then that?

Because it doesn't clearly say Dean Moriarty. I admit it says Dean, but his last name ends with a D in the picture as far as i can see.

See? It says Dean Moriarty. Maybe this one is better:
