Same guy?

 

[CDGillum]

Looks the same to me

 

[Nathan Stuart]

They look to have similar hairlines, jawlines, ear shapes and facial elongations. Their eyes look similar too.

But cannot say for certain, they are 'one and the same' (due to the face being partially obscured by the hair in one picture).

 

[JackADriscoll]

Oh yeah. Look at the placement of the part.

 

[SethJ]

Creases by the nose... the ears... even the droop of the eye on the left... I'd be willing to put money on them being the same person.

 

[OldSarge79]

Looking strictly at the facial features and hair, I agree that the two could very well be the same.

BUT, my eye keeps tripping over the collar in the second photo. Someone more familiar with clothing styles might say otherwise, but my eye says turn of the century or later, and the age of the two men doesn't appear to be that much different.

 

[Bloody7th]

I would say yes

 

[MRB1863]

IMO yes. Have you tried to "photoshop" facial hair on the photo on the right?

 

[R. Porter]

I would say they could be the same person or two different people who are very closely related who were photographed at a similar age.

Good point about eye.

I don't think they are one and the same man. The shaven man has a much leaner face than the civil war soldier.

[Nathan Stuart]

When one compares both faces holistically, they do look slightly different (even though there are similar specific features in each face).

Lubliner.

That is a good point.. I'd guess post war, but then again, he hasn't seemed to age a bit.
Could the angle of the picture make it look wider? It does appear the first one may be at a slant when the picture was taken.
Maybe I shouldn't have drank the coffee.

Agree, they might be different entities. Nevertheless, thought faces can appear fuller (less lean) over time, as one ages and/or becomes over-nourished.

I like your term, "over-nourished:" it makes me feel less self-conscious. That being said, there are a host of medical reasons that can cause the gaining of weight or fluid or loss of the same without nourishment in the equation.

Is there any backstory to go with these photos?

Thanks. Yes, that's the intended euphemism for the other obvious term meant.

Agree - there could be a host of possible reasons why one might develop a fuller face over time. Thought 'over-nourished' (or 'under-nourished' for that matter, to produce the reverse effect), as well as disease, might be the most likely reasons.

Suspect there is no known backstory to go with these photos, otherwise it would have been provided by now in this thread.

 

[Mike Serpa]

Detail is lacking in one photo.

 

[ConfederateCanuck]

I am late to the party but...yes, same guy.

 

[chubachus]

A passing resemblance at least I would say.

 

[RedRover]

Here ya go...
