Wouldn't it have been common knowledge that Vader was Anakin? Otherwise you'd have to assume that the Emperor just had some other ultra powerful force just apprentice instantly, who also had a much of robot parts and a breathing machine.

Obi-Wan knows Anakin was Vader. He didn’t know Vader was still alive.
In the canon very few people know Vader’s true identity. I believe it’s Yoda, Obi-Wan, Palpatine, Tarkin, and now apparently Reva and that’s it? Might have missed one but Vader’s true identity is unknown to pretty much everyone.
