Customizing GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR works.
Unfortunately on UEFI, there is one vendor directory on the ESP by
design, so dual booting two copies of Ubuntu on the same disk, with
separate bootloaders doesn't really work.
This is known, but there currently isn't a plan to change this.

I had initially tried changing the value of GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR, however
grub-update does not take this value as the bootloader id.
If you notice the default GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2>
/dev/null || echo Debian` produces "Ubuntu", however the default
bootloader id is "ubuntu".

Rather than override it on the command line to grub-install, you should
customize GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR in /etc/default/grub.
