I'm guessing the latter Jeff, as there are a number of differentiating characteristics between the two.
Here is the photo on the right, done by Bain, in a Memory Lane auction:

From the same photo shoot:

In both examples, Henry Lee has dated it to the 1900's based on the paper/stamps/other features. The Memory Lane description dates it to spring training 1902/1903, though I am not sure what that is based on. The person who likely wrote the description (Joe T./VintageClout on net54) is very knowledgeable overall and about Matty. Probably worth a follow up communication with him.
