Default Relationship between 1931 Sun Pictures cards and 1933 Uncle Jacks Candy cards?

Please take a look at the cards below. On the left is a 1931 Sun Pictures photo card of Wes Ferrell. On the right is the 1933 Uncle Jacks Candy card of Wes Ferrell. Take a look at how similar these two cards are. They share the same image and they both have "WESLEY FERRELL" written in the bottom right corner of the card in all caps.

I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know of a relationship between the developers of these two cards? These look VERY similar!

2. There are 10 known 1931 Sun Pictures cards. There are 30 known cards in the 1933 Uncle Jacks Candy set. I am going to assume that all of the 1933 Uncle Jacks Candy cards that show players from the 1931 Sun Pictures set use the same image. Can anyone prove or disprove this statement?

(Note: The cards are likely not shown in proper proportional to each other. The Sun Pictures cards are about 2 5/16 by 3 1/4 while the 1933 Uncle Jacks candy cards measure about 1 7/8 by 2 7/8.)
