Is there any way of reconciling various accounts of early history of the Sontarans?

From The First Sontarans we do know that the Kaveetch considered themselves "Sontarans" as well (simply as demonym "from Sontar", just like Humans are "Earthlings"), and called what we know as Sontarans the "Sontaran clones". Therefore, I think that any references in Sontaran to the Sontarans before they became a clone race should actually be taken to mean the Kaveetch. I haven't read Pureblood (comic story), but from the summary, it looks like the purebloods could be considered just another name for those Kaveeth that survived (or, alternately, descendants of a group of Sontaran clones that reverted to natural reproduction of the Kaveetch).
