Just for clarity - i believe the lawlor shop to be the one with roller shutters and brickwork above with the down pipe & grates on the path - not the part rendered.
Bigby over on Dublin forums has said he will return there to photo it when the roller are up and i will ask him to photo the detailing over the door.

But the whole of the top of the building would have to have been rebuilt.
The discrepancy between the one row and three rows of bricks between the flashing and the upper window sills could be a difference in where the flashing was bonded into the building but on the original picture there are at least seven rows of bricks above the window lintel bricks whereas in the modern pictures there are only four before the next storey window sills.
The panels beneath the shop windows are also higher on the right, if anything, whereas the original building shows a lower panel on the right of the picture.
Aerial map views show shops of a similar age appear to still exist all down one side of Capel Street. However many other small street around there have been completely rebuilt during in the twentieth century.
