Do you think these photos are the same person?

Whilst researching my partners family we have come across these photos , the one is from a wedding in 1944 and the other from early 1970s. Do you  think they are the same person?

And the 1944 pic :

  Certainly a lot of similarities - my only doubt is the ears which seem flatter in the second picture.

Like ToH, I see that there are similarities but I don't think they're the same person.

In addition to the ears, the eyes of the younger man are more deep set and the nose is narrower. Could they be brothers or cousins or...?

I would guess they are related but not the same person.

The 1944 man looks about 35, and the early 70s man does not look much older (perhaps 47/48) despite an almost 30 year gap between the 2 pics.

Also the chins look slightly different shape as well as ears flatter on the first pic.

In my opinion it is definitely the same person. The upper lip is so individual.

I agree with Primrose11.  I think that it's because of the way his face has filled out that in the later photo his ears look flatter and his eyes less deep-set.

They could be the same person…there are similarities (in addition to what has already been mentioned):
The hairline, the space between the eyebrows, the lower lip on his right looks slightly higher than his left side, and his right eye appears to be slightly smaller than his left eye.  Also, the area between the end of his upper lip and above the chin (on the right, as we look at the photo) looks very similar.

Perhaps he doesn’t appear to have aged very much due to the fullness of his face.  (When my mum intentionally lost weight, she looked quite a bit older even though she only lost 20 or so pounds.  Perhaps when one gains weight, the opposite is true - a more youthful face.)
