Is this really Fred Thayer, inventor of the catcher's mask?

I hate to out an auction, but I don't feel I have any choice. It's in a major auction and I'm pretty confident all interested people have already seen it. The item is described as a cabinet card of Fred Thayer, the inventor of the catcher's mask. I've shown a picture of it below. Also, shown below is a picture of Thayer's Harvard team from the internet. According to numerous websites, Thayer is seated in the middle row, second from the right, holding a catcher's mask. But this guy looks nothing like the guy in the auctioned cabinet card. He has a mustache and is bald, while the guy in the cabinet card has no mustache and a full head of hair. Also, the guy NEXT TO Thayer in the internet photo, on his right, looks identical to the guy in the cabinet card. So, has the auction house gotten it wrong? Does the cabinet card show Thayer or not? Thanks.
