contents We prove that the double branched cover of a twist-roll spun knot in $S^4$ is smoothly preserved when four twists are added, and that the double branched cover of a twist-roll spun knot connected sum with a trivial projective plane is preserved after two twists are added. As a consequence, we conclude that the members of a family of homotopy $\mathbb{CP}^2$s recently constructed by Miyazawa are each diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{CP}^2$. We also apply our techniques to show that the double branched covers of odd-twisted turned tori are all diffeomorphic to $S^2 \times S^2$, and show that a family of homotopy 4-spheres constructed by Juhász and Powell are all diffeomorphic to $S^4$.
