Sources (n.b., only males 16 years of age or older were included on these passage lists):

...Christoph Fleur, Hans Straub,* Hans Metz,*...

*the asterisks indicate their names were written by a clerk (i.e., they did not sign their signatures, so were presumably illiterate); this is consistent with Strassburger (below). Rupp does not have Andreas STRAUB on his list.

Among the other passengers was an Andreas STRAUD.

It is very difficult to understand how Strassburger has mixed up his lists — or, if he is correct, how the other two did. Strassburger has Andreas STRAUB on the Anderson. "On board" means that Hans METZ was still on the ship during the oath-taking (the reason was usually illness).
