Let's get this out of the way immediately. I'm no autograph expert, so do with these observations what you will...
In looking at the 3 autos (so far) in this thread, some things come to mind. The two of yours could have possibly been written by the same person, as they certainly have a ton of similarities, but here's the potential problem that jumps out at me. If you look at the 2 'authentic' signatures, his capital letters ('N' and 'C') are drawn sort of to extremes, going sharply and dramatically high up in stark contrast to the lower case letters. (Overall, his name looks like it was written normally, but then the paper was stretched upward, distorting those letters, if you know what I mean.)
But on the 'Stormin' Norman' card, all of the letters are much more squat, much more traditional, with no extremes. It is possible, however, that he signed this card much more slowly and deliberately (instead of the quick, get-it-over-with type of autograph) due to it being a much different type of signature for him (almost as if he was simply writing out his name and not actually signing an autograph), which could possibly account for the discrepancies.
Good luck.
