Remember in Anor Londo how everything was created as an illusion by Gwyndolin? Maybe Ornstein and Smough were illusions created by Gwyndolin and the REAL Ornstein and Smough left with Gwynevere. Maybe the lack of Smough's existence in DSII is related to the fact that he could have died somehow sometime prior to it. But he has the exact same armor as Ornstein, as well as the Old Leo Ring, and you can apparently find his weapon in the game, which has the same stats as Ornstein's.
