Richard's Standard Bearers at Bosworth

In building up my database I've found two men who are listed as bearing Richard's banner at Bosworth, both of whom were killed there:

A Gilbert Swinburn of Chopwell, Durham

and Percival Thirlwall of Northumberland

Are both of these correct and in fact they carried different banners, or is one an invention?

I've found several suspect knights listed as killed in the battle for whom no mention is made elsewhere.
