My quibble with that would be that this comes from Ott's estate, that his name is written in full while Bonura's name is just the more familiar "Zeke" with no last name written (as if written by a friend...not a photographer), and the formation of the letter "O" is so unusual...who else writes a capital "O" like that?

That doesn't look like his typical signature, either for documents or for autograph signing. But I agree that it's strange that it would be done in cursive and the other name look different. I would look for other examples with that kind of loop in the 'O', the different arm to the 'M' and the different right-hand side of the 'M', especially on signed documents. I looked around for a short time and didn't see anything.

Whoever wrote on that photo did in fact spell 'Mel Ott' correctly.

Yeah I'm thinking you guys are right. This is a bit more like what his signature on a baseball tends to look like, not a flat. I was confusing the two. The sloped and sharp-at-the-top second hump in the letter "M" is very consistent with Ott on flats.
Wishful thinking on my part I suppose. |
