Pure coincidence I'm afraid.
In the episode 'State Visit' (20 February 1967) Alf gives his full name as Alfred Edward Garnett. Alf was reactionary, mean-spirited, selfish, bigoted, anti-Irish, anti-Catholic, racist, misogynistic and anti-Semitic. Warren Mitchell himself was in fact Jewish. In In Sickness and in Health he also displays homophobia, largely because he gets a gay black man whom he calls "Marigold" as his home help. The home help calls him "bwana".

Canary, you were wrong there - in fact, AOG is a nom de plume for Sir Alec Guinness, born Alec Oliver Guinness de Cuffe and hence appropriate for AOG as his remarks are often 'off the cuff' - de Cuffe came from his mother's side.
Sir Alec was also a devotee of the Mail, so the similarities are very similar, an affinity for chainmail demonstrated by his eponymous role as Henry V.
