Just one request, please lets take out the names from SRGMP from the list or this thread will again become a battleground and the Mods will be forced to close it...
Regarding Hemant Kumar, one was Subir Sen (sang the song, "Manzil wahi hai pyaar ke raahi badal gaye") and there was (at least) another person some Bhattacharjee but the name skips my mind at the moment...

It definitely is interesting (as you've mentioned as well) that try hard as I may, cant think of a clone for Talat and Manna da...
Subir Sen also sang that wonderful song "Main rangila pyar ka rahi..." from "Chhoti Bahen"
The other Hemant clone was Dwijen Mukherjee. Some of his songs: "Aye dil kahan teri manzil..." & "Phir ek baar kaho.." both from "Maya"(Salil Chaudhury); "Tan jale man jalta rahe.."(Madhumati).
Manna clone --- after much thinking i found one less known singer who seemed to me to be close to Mannada - P. B. Srinivasan. The only hindi song of his I can remember is "Chanda se hoga woh pyara" from "Main bhi ladki hoon".
