It's not?  I think it is the same.  You wanted a simply way of getting
back to a manual that you were reading earlier in the session, which
you still have in some Info buffer, no?  That's what "C-h R" does: it
first looks in the Info buffers already present in the session, and,
if not found, then looks for the manual installed on the system.  In
your case, the first step will succeed.

That's what "C-h R" does.  Did you try it?  If you did, how did it not
"switch back _to that manual which I have been reading in the past
hour"?  For me, it switches back to that manual and to the same place
where I was before.  What am I missing?

If you want to show the name of the Info file on the title bar, you
can modify frame-title-format to use Info-current-file in Info
buffers.
