I have been unable to successfully google any of the above so far (because they are TOO GOOD at being spies, clearly) but I have spent the last half hour reading the excellent wikipedia entry for Joan Pujol Garcia, a WW2 double-agent who fed the Nazis a bunch of duff information, convincing them he was in London when in fact he was kicking around in Lisbon. His network of 'fake spies' have amazing codenames: DAGOBERT, BENEDICT, MOONBEAM and CHAMILLUS!

Oooo actually he is likely to be iii) then - FUSAG is the First United States Army Group:

"Operation Bodyguard was designed to confuse the Axis high command as to Allied intentions during the lead-up to the invasion... The Allied story for FUSAG was that the army group, based in south-east England, would invade the Pas de Calais region several weeks after a smaller diversionary landing in Normandy."

Pujol's code name was GARBO (for the British) or ARABEL (for the Germans).
