I think it is important to note that Franklin is saying he deciphered the names first, none of which he had ever heard of. By researching the names, he found they actually existed. It sure sounds like he got the decipherment correct.
I think you'll find that some juggling of the codes was required. Even Franklin has his doubts about the story, so not a lot of confidence in the many different theories he's settled upon.
