I read GP's question really as: "did all Uranium on Earth come from the same source?" and your answer implies "yes". I think that's right.

The fact that everywhere we see the same U-235/U-238 ratio or very close (Oklo) strongly implies either a single source (supernova) or that if it was more than one source they were all at roughly the same time (6.5 billion years ago), with the latter seeming [to me] less likely, so a single source at 6.5 billion years ago is what makes sense. Unless there were many supernovae and their remnants mixed quite well in our corner of the galaxy where our sun was born.
