No need to flog this one again but let me present what may be a newer perspective and then you decide.
In Isaiah we have a named Servant and an unnamed Servant. Christian theology posits the unnamed servant as Jesus.
Here's is how the prophet describes the named servant who is Jacob/Israel in chapters 41,43,44,45.
"My servant" (41:8,43:10,44:1,44:21,45:4)
"MY elect"(45:4)
God's spirit upon him(44:3)
"Formed from the womb" (44:2)
suffered but will prosper(41:10-12)
God is glorified through him (44:23)
only singular is used (41:8-16)
singular and plural used (43:1,10,44:1-5.8.52:4)
An un-named servant whom Christianity equate to Jesus is described as follows:
"My servant" (42:1,49:3,52:13)
"My elect"(42:1)
God's spirit upon him 42:1
formed from the womb (49:5)
suffered but will prosper (52:13-15,53:11-12)
God is glorified through him(49:3)
only singular used (42:1-7,49:1-10)
singular and plural used (53:8-9)
Each specific word and phrase above is IDENTICAL between the obviously named servant (Righteous ISRAEL), and the un-named servant. No other figure in Isaiah shares all these traits.
The overlap between righteous Israel/Jacob and the un-named servant are too specific and too proximate in the text to be anything but the result of the servants being identical. At least, based on a simple reading of the texts and without referral to any shadows, typology and dual hocus-pocus. Again use your own judgement to decide.
