I'm not an expert either but in my opinion the Y's and F's are different. The seller had the photos listed as being from 1932. Both these guys lived almost into the 1970s (Hafey 73 and O'Doul 69) so we're talking 40 years in between for them to change their signatures. They could both very well be extremely fake. It's just a very weird fake to go through the trouble of making, especially since it's clear that if these are fake the forger at least had some sense of what the signature looked like and lacked some sense of what later signatures looked like.
