The sources I've looked at don't really say anything not specified in the film itself. It's just stated that in GMK, Godzilla first attacked in 1954 and was defeated by a chemical weapon. Then, almost 50 years later Godzilla returns as the amalgamation of restless souls killed by the Japanese military during the Pacific War. All implications point to the GMK Godzilla being the original 1954 Godzilla, having regenerated from the Oxygen Destroyer. Whether he was always possessed by the angry souls or was possessed by them after being killed in 1954 is up to interpretation it sounds like.
