Birth registrations can be amended later for several reasons.  One example is if the child is born before the marriage and registered in mother’s name , then after the marriage it can be reregistered in father’s name.  Usually this happens within a few years ... it is surprising that it was amended 60 years later.   Perhaps there was a typo on original registration eg Ian instead of Ivan

Are you able to go to the archives to view (and photograph) these documents?  If not I believe there is someone on NZ board who does so.

The divorce papers should have marriage certificate (which will have parents names) and also details of the children.  (Well Australian ones do - haven’t seen any NZ ones but I assume they are similar)
