However, I think it's safe to assume that he's had a chance to interact with Cora, Pan, and others in the UW that had the opportunity to interact with David in the regular world. And I'm sure that at least one of them would comment on visible similarities between David and James. So, it is not unexpected that James is at least aware of David, and would not take any retcon or other plot device.

And it would not surprise me if, somehow, James is the sherriff of Underbrooke (not saying that he is, just saying it would not surprise me).
