The winning 4H'er and the crap shooter are definitely similar in dress and looks, but I think they're not the same.
Biggest tell is the hat, clearly different. Each of these fellers has his style.
Buttons on the shirt appear to be different colors and the collar looks just a bit different. Finally, the hair on our clean cut 4H'er looks more closely cropped than that of the decadent gambler.
As much as we can see of the face, though, looks very much the same, maybe a more worldly older brother.
[Definitely not the same hat or shirt, although the pimples seem to match. - Dave]
