No, I don't have any proof (and won't change the articles if I don't find any), but I did have a look online.

From what I found, Mark B. Oliver lives in America, and Mark Oliver worked on Doctor Who Insider, which was an American magazine.

Added to this, it's not unheard of for writers to do both fact and fiction (B. Oliver also wrote a non-ficion Blakes 7 guide), and when considering the similarity of the names, and the limited topic, it's seems reasonable (as I said, not definate) that it is the same writer but using two names, in a Iain [M.] Banks kind of way.
