Though, for future reference, originals of the same shot can be sized and cropped differently. Printing from the original negative, the photographer or developer can make different size photos and crop the images in different ways.

Exactly. The cropping has nothing to do with it being more or less original than another ; particularly in this case.



Also, clarity was mentioned here.

A). The op's example was scanned and the other is a picture taken from a camera , at an angle , not even flat.

B) there can be differences in clarity between 2 originals off the original negative anyway.
