Not original.

Duly note that I've seen Detroit News photos that were legitimate and came from the newspaper, but made years after the image was shot. That a photo isn't original, doesn't automatically mean it's a forgery. Though the later made Detroit News photos I've seen had a different image tone and a drystamp (embossment)

I don't have a specific opinion on the photo (beyond that it isn't original), but noted news photographers did sometimes reuse old images. Including George Dorrill, George Burke, Brace and Conlon.
