Showed it to R who also strongly thinks they are not the same man.

I thought they were at first. Now I’m sure they’re not.

I say definitely not. Age or not, these ears belong to two different men. Also the very unusually shaped frown grooves on the man at left, presumably younger, do not appear on the face of the other older man. Also, there was an undefined something that you can always see in the eyes that let you recognize a person as they change from younger to older age.

I'm saying YES on basis of the "spine" of the ear for sure, cheek bones, eye brows. Compatible with age progression IMHO.

I agree. The ears look a little different but maybe it’s the angle

That's a tough one. If they're not the same man, surely close family. I'm saying no on basis of ears, but not sure.

The ears do look different but I have no other picture of the man on the left who is labeled “Ulysses.” I have identified the man on the right as the photographer. I have many photos of him. I’m trying to make the case that he is Ulysses.
