Yeah, it appears now that Bordagary is correct, since Reese is quoted as identifying him as the base runner. Which begs the question, why was Pee Wee asked to pose for such a similar shot five years later with Shuba? Maybe because the 1946 photo was used on some magazine covers before the Bowman guys got ahold of it and another photographer wanted to replicate it?
