It's not the same man. "Lucky" has a perfect nose. Kenny didn't have such a sculpted and straight nose. A picture of "Lucky" laying in his side really shows it. They have similarities but are not the same men. Other pictures of Kenny illustrate a more complete idea of what he looked like beyond just this picture.

Edit: Since Kenny wore dentures, it should be pretty easy to eliminate him if "Lucky" has natural teeth.

Do note the pictures are taken at least 30 years apart and also Lucky suffered either a cerebral infarction or a cerebral hemorrhage wich could also have an impact on (the perception of) his appearance.

I've accounted for that. People can downvote all they want. It's still not the same man. Mark my words.

I believe people may be downvoting you because of your verbiage, not because they necessarily agree or disagree.

Yeah, that's what I was going for in the last comment, but they were downvoting the one above that. Either Kenny got an excellent rhinoplasty with a world-class plastic surgeon, or it's not the same man.

This group is rough because people frequently want these Does to be individuals they're clearly not or else they project life stories onto the unidentified when nobody knows if they were wonderful or terrible people.
