A relative of E. L. Moore's Branch Line Station?

I saw this photo of a small station on the Kansas City HO Club's Kansas City South Prospect Railroad in the February 1958 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman. It sure looks a lot like E. L. Moore's Branch Line Station that appeared in the April 1964 issue of RMC. The similarities are very similar :-) Did this little station inspire E. L. Moore's, or vice versa, or is this just a common station type and it's all coincidence? In his article, Mr. Moore states he built one of these stations for the first time 10 years earlier, which by my calculations is sometime in 1954 - so, the timeframe is right. Now, he also says the first one used capped siding, and the siding on the one in the photo looks like commercial clapboard, or possibly scribed cardboard. Maybe Mr. Moore's memory is faulty and the one in the photo is it? Maybe, but my money's on coincidence; however, we'll likely never know for sure.
