Gee, I hope that Dr. Zahi Hawass turns up :).

Oh he will, no doubt about that. Last year I managed to collect ten pictures of Egyptian scientists removing Tutankhamen's remains from his sarcophagus, running him through a CAT scanner, and putting him back afterwards. Zahi was in all but one of them. What a ham.

Given the existence of a pit tomb (no remains), also probably of late 18th dynasty, and KV55's chaotic contents, I'm still pulling for these mummies to be from the royal family of the Amarna period.
