Have a look at this, detecting alterations in Goudey cards. Apparently, somebody at SGC could use a refresher course on this very thing. The borders are way too small, and I'm shocked that it was slabbed with this grade. Too bad, as that's my second favorite pre-war card behind the T206 Johnson port. But I would never put it in my collection, even if I could afford it.
Last time this card was discussed it doesn't seem that you, or other people, thought it was short, or trimmed.

And yes it's the same card.
