I have been scoring a KPB as a K for both batter and pitcher (and an E2)
am I correct?
would it be the same for KWP (except an E1)?

Passed balls and wild pitches are not scored as errors in any rule set I'm aware of, but you are otherwise correct, the batter and pitcher both get a K, and the advancement is shown as a WP or PB.

Pitching: Wild Pitches/Passed Balls
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. A wild pitch is charged to the pitcher when the pitcher throws so high, wide or
low that the catcher can not handle the ball with ordinary effort and at least one
runner advances.
a - Any pitch in the dirt which advances a runner is deemed wild.
b - Only one wild pitch is scored regardless of the number of runners
who advance or the number of bases advanced.
c - A third strike that is not handled by the catcher because it was
wild, where the batter makes first base safely, is charged to the
pitcher as a strikeout and also as a wild pitch (KWP).
d - No wild pitch is scored if a runner was stealing on the release of
the wild pitch and only one base is advanced.

2. A passed ball is charged to the catcher when she fails to catch a pitch which
could have been caught with ordinary effort and at least one baserunner advances.
a - A bobbled pitch (not dropped) where a runner advances is scored
as a stolen base, not a passed ball, even if the runner decides to
advance after seeing the bobble.
b - Only one passed ball is charged regardless of the number of
runners who advance or the number of bases advanced.
c - A third strike that is not handled by the catcher and which should
have been with ordinary effort, and the batter reaches first base
safely, is charged to the catcher as a passed ball and the pitcher as a
strikeout (KPB).
d - No passed ball is scored if a runner was stealing on the release of
the pitch that got away and only one base is earned.
