Ozpin said that eventually the two souls will merge into one person with all the memories, and he will be left changed because of it. So if you consider memories to be the sum of the individual then Ozpin is the original soul and will be the one left in charge.

But if we take into consideration that Semblance’s are discussed in episode 4 and they are trying to discover Oscar’s, it makes more sense that it’s just the memories/voicenof Ozpin that gets shunted around and the original soul of the body is the one that keeps control. If t were Ozpin’s full soul, he would have his own semblance to use and there would be no need to worry about discovering Oscar’s, since he’s not going to stick around as it is.

Ozpin is only able to take control of Oscar because Oscar lets him - the scene in the training was unexpected but given Oscar wasn’t freaking out in the background about Ozpin just taking his body it must have been allowed.

So for this reason I believe that Ozpin is not actually a full soul - merely the memories and a disembodied voice in Oscar’s head. When they merge, Oscar will be the one in charge. He will have all of Ozpin’s memories and skills and muscle memories, but he will have his own semblance and aura instead of using Ozpin’s. Ozpin’s voice will fade entirely, leaving Oscar alone in his head once more.
