why do you want to believe that these "mythologies"--which i assume are understood here as the colonial worldview would have them understood, as kind of childish warm-up exercises for the Real Business of european-style religion, which is what Adults do---are all talking about the same thing via these flood narratives?
i think the op is addressing an aesthetic question: there is self-evidently no way to know whether there is or is not a common reference point. so it is a matter of preference, what seems pleasing to you, what feels right.
