They're the same pics with newer URLs. Note how the latter part of the strings are the same in both those and the dead links.

the image links no longer work. I found 2 in the RRHS photos of Monte Rio (well, they appear to be the same image, with some work done on one of them). Not sure if they're the same or not.
