Photomatch?

I believe I may have photomatched my Eli Marrero 2006 game worn helmet to a spring training game on March 26,2006 but I'd like to get a few opinions first. I found a few things that match up:

The number "16" is placed about a centimeter more to the right

The "6" in "16" appears to be placed on just a tiny tiny bit higher than the "1"

There is a tiny white mark on the MLB logo which is just below the arm of the guy in the logo (I circled the mark I am talking about in the second & third pic) which I can see in the photo of Marrero when zoomed in.

The "1" in "16" was made wrong and there is more white border on the right side than on the left

All of these match my helmet (pics below), so LMK whether or not you think this is a photomatch


Here is the picture with him possibly wearing the helmet I have:



Here is the same picture, but zoomed into the back of the helmet:



Here is the back of the helmet that I have:

Doesn't look like it--- the 1 and 6 are spaced farther apart on your helmet, and I don't think the borders on the 1 match up.

The spacing is actually perfect.....I see that a lot....spacing looks different sometimes when pictures aren't close enough. I have Ken Griffey Jr.'s helmet from the '94 All Star Game and after watching the video, I thought that it wasn't the same helmet because of the spacing of the numbers when they showed a shot of him from behind, but after watching more of the video I was able to see that the spacing is the same; just looking different from other angles.

And about GUU, I posted there and everybody was getting confused. One member said that the split on the back of the helmet was more to the right than on the helmet that I have, but it looks more like a reflection of another bat in the helmet than a split line. Then another member said that the "6" was a different style number than in the picture, but that didn't make sense though since the Rockies wouldn't have more than 1 style sticker to put on the back of their helmets (I also found a Kaz Matsui #16 Rockies helmet and the numbers were the same style)

I'm about 95% certain that this has to be a photomatch, the Kaz Matsui helmet that I just mentioned had the stickers perfectly centered, so I'm sure having them put on more to the right is a rare occurance. Plus the white mark is in the exact same spot in the picture (same spot and same looking mark), and that's what first made me look at it as a photomatch. And actually there is a mark on the top of the helmet which I believe I may have found on the helmet that I have, but there is just so much use that it's hard to tell.
