A more illuminating question might be whether Saul of Tarsus and Historical Paul are the same person. Saul is from the authentic letters. Paul is from acts...which is considered by The Scholarly Consensus to be ahistoric, to put it mildly.
So when we ask whether Paul was historical, are we asking whether there was ever any real boy named saul, a persecuter from nothereistan who had a moment on a road and was changed into paul? In a word. No. That paul is not the historical paul. That came later, by including stories from old magic book.
