[Black Panther] How did Klaue not know that Erik Stevens (Killmonger) was part wakandan?

In the beginning of the movie , it was established that Killmonger's dad had collaborated with Klaue to steal some vibranium from Wakanda. Klaue ended up causing some casualties , including W'Kabi's parents , and the rest is in the film.  Klaue and N'Jobu must have planned the heist together a lot, so wouldn't he have known that he had a son? I was under the impression that he worked together with Killmonger later on because of his connection to Wakanda and his skills. But the part where he was shocked to see the mark on Killmonger, left me confused.  Even then, he must have recognized his earth name. 

So is there a reasonable explanation for this? Or is it just a plothole?

Unless they did the planning in N'Jobu's living room, no. It's more likely that N'Jobu just gave the info about Wakanda's defenses and which vibranium warehouse to hit in exchange for their own vibranium. N'Jobu wasn't stupid enough to do that right in his own home where Wakandans have constant access. He only failed because he did not think that T'Chaka was paranoid enough to plant Zuri to keep tabs on him.

As Killmonger working together with Klau, I'd assume that Killmonger is a triple-agent in there as part of the CIA sting to bring Klau in. Klau being surprised was because he thought Killmonger was an African culture expert, not an actual Wakandan.
