If chimps and gorillas came from a single ancestor, they ought to be more similar to each other than chimps to humans.
I always thought pan troglodytes and homo sapiens branched off from gorillas, taxonomy browser at ncbi has them all branching off the same node, so maybe the phylogeny is still uncertai

btw, your proposed hypothesis is pretty sketchy, if you want something a bit more concrete I'd suggest you use clustalx to do a multiple alignment of the entire mitocondrial genomes of these species (concatenated) and then use the phylip program to draw some trees
(a single mitochondrial gene isn't really all that informative)
