While obviously taken at the same time, it's not the same photo.

Sorry - I missed the detail. Someone must've told Shawkey to cross his legs!
So if the photo printed on the blotter was by "Cosmo Sileo", and the other print was a "U&U", does this mean that one photo was taken by a photog from the Cosmo Sileo studio, and the other was taken by a U&U photog?
The photos are both taken from dead center, within maybe seconds of each other, as only Shawkey and a few others have shifted. I find it hard to believe these weren't taken by the same camera. ????

There are quite a few differences and not just Mr.Shawkey. I agree in that I think the photos were probably taken at the same time and from the same camera. I think it is an Underwood and Underwood photo and the other company is just using it, though not sure why they took credit?
Edited to add that maybe this was a photo opportunity day and many photographers got in line to take photos of the team, in the same place, for several minutes? That would be an explanation though I don't know if it makes sense?
