And I agree, the Doctor pretty much explicitly says that she's the same person. But we don't know how. They clearly are different versions of Clara. Aside from the fact that Oswin and Clara have different, but similar, personalities, they in at least some way have different bodies, as both bodies died. So without getting into speculation, they are the same person, different bodies. Like I pointed out earlier, Pete Tyler and Pete Tyler (Pete's World) are two separate articles, and, as OS pointed out, Rory Williams and Rory Williams (Auton) are two articles as well. In Pete's example, it's an alternate version; same basic person, but from a different reality, and slightly different. In Rory's example, it's the same consciousness, but in a different body. Considering the neither Clara seems to remember the Doctor might indicate that they don't share on consciousness, although that's speculative, as either one could be lying. Point is: at the very least, the three Clara are in a similar situation to Auton Rory.
