Not sure, but I don't think so. You nee to insert both pictures as linked to the external file (that you then need to carry along with the presentation). One alternative (a bit of an overkill) is to create a slide master with the picture in it and then apply that slide master to the two slides where the picture is used, while applying the "normal" slide master to the other slides.
