I guess the writers weren't sure if Sam was occupying another person's body or physically replaced them but still looked like them. But there's a few where even Al don't know how it works like telling Sam that he can't cross a pond because chimps don't have enough body fat to swim let alone save someone who is drowning. It's generally assumed that Al sees Sam as Sam, except for the episode where he's a woman and Al sees the woman that Sam replaced.
