My thoughts on it: I believe that stamping on the back indicates that the photo was issued by the Yankees, who kept photos of many players by many different photographers on file for use in various team issues and when player photos were requested by publications and news outlets over the years. They tend to be sharp, well-composed photos because those are the ones the team would have held onto for reproduction. But I don't think you can tie that particular stamp type/style to any particular photographer, because it wasn't a particular photographer applying them.
