    This topic has been discussed on numerous threads, so undoubtedly it'll be locked soon.

    But to answer your question

    1) 3P0 wasn't painted gold in AOTC. And, as Otis said, he never mentioned his name to Owen in ANH. Furthermore, most protocol droids look the same.

    2) R2 was around Owen for only a second in AOTC, since he spent most of the time guarding the ship under Padme's orders. When he does make an appearence, Padme only refers to him as R2. She never mentions the D2 part.

    3) If you want to stretch it, you could say that durring the discussion at the dinner table over the droids being stolen, Owen realizes who the droids are and order's their memories to be erased.
