But the real problem is substantial facial feature differences. I know the scan you posted (below center) is not good, but it's good enough to see that your guy has a nice turned-up nose, while P. Waner had a big hook nose. And yes, the ear is way different. Your guy isn't him.

It is Paul Waner. Here is his 1923 Zee Nut rookie card. For me the facial features are consistent which is good enough for me.
