Paul [Saul] presumably received the Holy Ghost at the hands of Ananias, who was not among that number.

We do not know how, where or when Paul received the Holy Ghost. The account with Ananias does not say.

You are right that Revelations speaks only of 12 apostles. It almost implies that there are just 12 apostles...
