Shagrat brought the sword, cloak, and mail to Barad-dur on the 17th. He would presumably have given a description of the prisoner that he captured so Sauron probably knew what type of creature it was. Other than that he was probably not aware of what exactly this prisoner had been up to. The Mouth was rather vague in his remarks about the subject. It gave me the impression that he was trying to show off more knowledge than he (or his master) actually had.
