They do the same thing with the E90-1 (Cleveland) and E98 Cy Young cards (lots 48 & 89). They even specifically say that the E98 is "Denton True 'Cy' Young".

What I would really like is for the grading companies to identify these as incorrect photos. It seems it would be simple to indicate on the flip that the cards actually picture Irv Young. The same thing should be done with the T3 Frank Baker (Jack Barry photo) and the N403 Anson (Williamson photo), as well as any other card that is known/verified to be an incorrect photo. I believe PSA does it with the 1987 Donruss Barry Bonds that actually pictures Johnny Ray, so why can't they do it with other cards?
