The two drawings do not remotely look like the same man. You say witnesses, as in plural. Could be witness A saw a girl with Man 1 and at a different time witness B saw the child with Man 2.

Yes this could be the case but there is no evidence that it was.
These two images show up in discussions of the Smith testimony. There were, as I recall, 3 adults in the Smith party in addition to Mr. Smith who saw one man who was alone carrying a 3-4 year old girl. So the likelihood is that the drawings are simply different versions of the same man by Smith and one other in his party.
Occam’s Razor is applicable here.
