Unhappy PSA 8 Trimmed Ed Mathews in ML Auction?

Let's play detective...was this beautiful card ruined?

With fraud basically happening everywhere and anywhere one can never be too cautious so can fellow collectors confirm or deny my suspicions here? Either this card is remarkably close in print imperfections or maybe just maybe it's the same card!

Notice how much sharper the two bottom corners are on the ML card not to mention the boarder appears slightly shorter. It's also possible that entire left boarder was "cleaned" up.

Numerous markings seem to align. I reached out to the former owner of this card for a picture of the back which would be extremely helpful but haven't received a response in a week's time so that's a dead end.

Thoughts and opinions?

I'm seeing a lot of the same marks on other 54 Mathews cards. This is just the first example that I pulled.

Yeah, you're much better off comparing the backs for fiber differences than recurring print defects on the front.
