"Jack May" - Wrong picture?

Next clean up: The actor "Jack May" of the uncredited cast of "Tom Thumb" has one foto:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2205138/?ref_=nm_mv_close

But on this one he looks very similar to the "Jack May" of "All Creatures Great and Small"

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0561975/?ref_=nm_mv_close

Ears are usually unique. And to compare I consulted another source for a better picture and found it here

https://mubi.com/de/cast/jack-may

So either the picture for the "Tom Thumb" one is wrong or - if it is right - both actors are the same

There's this trivia added to the name page by someone to apparently prevent this same confusion: "Elderly extra in British films, not to be confused with the British actor of the same name." - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2205138/trivia/

And pictures didn't look similar to me but I'm not good with identifying faces so I can't say for sure, I made some comparisons with an AI face comparison tool I use, and it said these two pictures are not same person. And it said with over 90% confidency that picture on the mubi link and picture of nm0561975 is same person. I also compared that mubi picture with picture of nm2205138 and again it said they are not same person at all with high confidency.

Edit: OK I think the following two pages have enough pictures to compare and be sure these two pictures are not for the same person:

http://movie-dude.com/Jack%20May%20I.htm

http://movie-dude.com/Jack%20May%20II.htm

So in conclusion, it doesn't look like there's any mixup here.

Those two sites show up the differences very much. Thanks!
