I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the King of Vale was grooming one of his followers to become his new body after he died, I suspected Ozpin was doing the same thing with Qrow, but in the latter instance it didn't work out as he'd hoped and merged with Oscar Pine instead.

As for Ozpin not following the CNR, I think RT is showing that he's the exception to every rule in Remnant. And I suspect he named himself Ozpin after he fully merged with his predecessor, thus to note that he predates the CNR, even if his current host was born after it. So it would still make sense if he was in his fifties at the time of his death in "End of the Beginning". Something along these lines anyway.
