Do we have proof he wore it? I want evidence beforeI start beliving any of the scinarios below

We have no proof hes a nord; he is depicted as one in pretty much everything but its still possible time could have confused that. After all, we never hear of him bieng called his (As far as we know) real name.

Actualy tho that is a wierd thing: we know martin and uriel where imperials, so that leaves a few scinarios

1: He was a illeginimate heir(Doubt it, but for the sake of listing every possibility)

2: The emporer befor him could have had 2 sons each with different mother: for talos a nordic mom obviously, and the other dude a imperial.

3: Time confused his race

4: He could have pretended to be a nord(So unlickly no other example of this happening but still)

5: The previous emporer had a son with nord but then died so he was left only heir standing.

6: Bethesda Screwed up(Sorry but...)

7: Now im sure the thalmor will love this one: he was a fake, had a fake amulet while having the real heir with the amulet, and claimed the real hiers imperial son as his own(This would be immpossible if someone saw him light it with the amulet tho)

Thats all I can think of, but if its any of these possibilities then the interpertation of him, even the thalmors, would change.
