I can see it is the same, as the cast shadow clearly shows the window of the upper half of the standard clam shell/air stair style door Cessna uses on their Caravans.
It could be two pictures of two different ditched airplanes or two different pictures of the same airplane. I agree that, given the camera angle and picture clarity, the pic in question looks like that of a different airplane, at least at first glance.
It's hard not to be suspicious of every little thing, especially regarding the players in question, since we are dealing with known liars who will lie about little things and about big things with equal ease.
My guess is we will reach a conensus on the two planes as to whether or not they are the same plane shot at differnt times or not. Right now I’m not sure at this time what that will be.
