I could be wrong, but isn't that a second generation photo as well? I can't recall ever seeing an original news photo from that period with a black border around the obverse image, which I assume is why the seller alludes to it being a "proof". At first, I thought the black border in the first image was the scanner background, but then looking at the second scan, you can see the scanner background is white. I think the first image is just cropped closely to the edges of the photo.
Other than that meager observation, I'll defer to drc's expertise.
