What is the name Kramer uses when checking out Kruger?

Is it the same one he uses when trying to get Elaines file?

Kramer has used 2 forms of this alais- in his audition for a part in JERRY- he
was Martin Van Nostrum & as the doctor he was Dr Van Nostrum. So I assume that
Van Nostrum is the last name and we are not told the good doctor's first name.

Actually, according to the Entertaiment Weekly Seinfeld Companion, it's
spelled Van Nostrand. And I think he actually used the name at least four
times--once as Martin Van Nostrand when trying out for the Kramer role in
the JERRY show and once as Peter Van Nostrand when trying to sneak into his
mom's ex-boyfriend's place to get his jacket back. Then, he also used the
name in his doctor role twice--once while checking out Kreuger and the other
time when he was trying to get Elaine's chart from her doctor's office.

I thought it was "Nordstrand", which is a Swedish name (which means "North
Beach" in english).

Also in the next-to-last episode, "The Puerto Rican Day Parade" (or whatever
it was called), Kramer revived his Van Nostrand role when conning a woman
into using the bathroom in her apartment. (Jerry also briefly reprised 'Kel
Varnson' in order to watch the rest of the Mets game on her TV, and of
course George is Art Vandelay.)
