Jamil isn't hiding his past. Or he might have done something simple like change his name. He seemed more to be using them as a distancing device [Reversing the British Armies advice on dealing with locals.
] to prevent his crew getting inside his emotional defenses.
Casval isn't really hiding his past behind Quatro's glasses [Pretty much everyone who knew him in the OYW recognises him without trouble.] so much as trying to put having been Cha behind him. To him by that point Cha was a mask which had served his purpose in killing the adult Zabis and Quatro was a way of making it possible for him to be a Federation officer [and then an AEUG one] without his father's heritage or Cha's servioce to Zeon getting in the way. It never really seemed more than a polite fiction. If he'd meant it to be more he'd have come up with a different colour scheme for his Rick Dias before the first episode of Zeta.
As for Graham, unless he's joined Celestial Being, I can't see a need for him to disguise his identity, so for the moment I'm going for hide scars as teh reason for his mask.
