I have been following your detective story with interest. Seeing the three 
images together really helps! No way two or three photographers can be that 
close together to be able to take such similar shots. Even if all had tripods 
snugged up together using remotes to fire the shutters. So one is the master, 
the others are copies. Given that the other two are tighter crops than the 
Manglesen version, then it seems clear to me that the others are copies. 
Possibly cropped so as to exclude identifying marks (signature, copyright...) 
present on the original(s) being copied from.
