Yes, similar, but York was not with the Olympics in 1870 either but the Troy Haymakers. The player at 8 o'clock appears to closely resemble Davy Force.

Here is a clean shaven 1867 image of Fergy Malone, who is also expected to be in the image, maybe in the clock position between Force and 6 o'clock.

The Reach who played for Washington in 1869 was not Al (busy with the Philadelphia Athletics) but his brother Bob also a Major Leaguer. The only image so far of him is later in life, attached.
