28th January 2014 - 27th January 2019. Is this fine? Is it in two month window opportunity?
I have no idea where you were on 28 January 2014.

Just send the letter to UKVI as suggested.

Re: Change details on online naturalization application

Just to add, I had a similar problem (omitted some information) and I suspected that my application would be refused. I used my initiative to write to UKVI before they made a decision on my application. Two days after receiving my letter my application was approved. :D

Re: Hong Kong passport

I haven't done the passport application yet, but did they not ask you for details of any/all passports you hold in the application? Maybe you included this in your B(OTA) registration application and HMPO have access to that data? If the B(OTA) application is similar to Naturalisation, then this is ...
