Could be, but that seems unlikely to me. Richards was a very successful manager in the Int'l League in the late 40's and should have appeared regularly in newspapers, programs, etc. Since the photos were going to be colored anyway, it should not have been that difficult to find a shot of him as manager of Buffalo and adapting it accordingly.
