I'm not quite sure I followed Ed's post, as follows:

Are you saying that Come, Friendly Spaceman is supposed to be Grant McLennan: When Word Gets Around or that Carter USM is supposed to be this McLennan thing.

Does anyone else think Come Friendly Spaceman sounds like Carter USM, (I specifically think it sounds like "The Only Living Boy in New Cross") and not so much that the songs sound alike but the feel of the songs is very similar. Maybe it's just me. (well obviously it's ME but, you know what I mean)
