Either way the knights were indded silver knights from the beginning but for name sake they are just knights up untill the split when gwyn goes to the kiln because no name is needed to define them untill that point. I can say with 100% certanty that the knights at anor londo are the same style of knights that were present at the fight with the everlasting dragons. Come on man... at least make an attempt at some spelling? ;)

Your points are from direct visual cues only. The fact that the Silver Knight's in Anor Londo were blessed with divine protection on their shields from the goddess. The Black Knight's are not blessed with divine protection on their shield's.

"Pre-Anor Londo Knights Aka Silver knights" is what I take as just being pure conjecture with nothing backing it. Zero identification that they were in fact called Silver Knights until the time they were identified to be protecting the goddess and imbued with her blessings. They in fact were only identified as Gwyn's knights prior to departure. So the only evidence proving to naming was at departure and at mention of battle with Chaos Demons.

And the visual cue's of the intro only provides Silver Knight's in their current appearance resembled that of Gwyn's Knight's. And though Silver Knight's and Black Knight's all could possibly be from the same original group under Gwyn, their is zero evidence any were named Silver or Black Knight's prior to their separation. Thus each set of Knight's really only have a history of being Gwyn's Knights and nothing more.
