Default 1956 Topps Aaron - Really Willie Mays??

Am listening to Wax Ecstatic podcast on 1956 Topps... https://audioboom.com/posts/7051464-...terpiece-in-56

One topic covered is that UER of Aaron's action shot really being Willie Mays. Am wondering what evidence we have for this, other than the cartoonish sliding figure looking a little more like Mays than Aaron.

I did a Google search to find the original photo, but came up empty. I do remember seeing the photo used for the '56 Aaron card many years ago, and it was clearly Mays.
