Long Ranges were characters with real names not troopers. It was established that trumps code name. Not sure I agree with the BAT and Sky BAT thing.
Anyway...
Are "COBRA" (technically "The Enemy") and "Cobra Trooper" two different things? No? But give that Trooper a tan tripwire outfit and a gas mask helmet and he is something different? 1997 Troopers were mostly Vipers in appearance, but were technically Cobra Troopers. In 2004, we got "Cobra Infantry Troopers", which really are COBRA (The Enemy) and Cobra Trooper. But then that's saying similar appearance trumps different code names and how far do you go with that (Street Viper and Elite Viper?)
Due to fate 1994's Viper was not "Infantry Viper" as the 1994 product folder shows, while Retaliation's Cobra solider was "Cobra Combat Ninja" because Hasbro is silly. So the former isn't eligible while the latter is.
