I think the biggest obstacle is the angle that player #3 has his head. He is tilting and stretching his head/neck so it throws the perspective off a bit. Also, he played 1885 in Cincinnati and migrated west to Denver for 1886. I can see him letting his hair grow out since fashions were different between the East and West just as they are today. My final point is that there are no similarities whatsoever between the ears of your Mountjoy exemplar and player #4.
