Really glad to hear your weren't scammed but they really do look like the same beams -- look at the quirks of the carved detail and especially the grain as it passes through that detail on the 'lower' areas where it is most obvious.

The color difference is because of the flash.

1. The contour of the beam matches on both

2. Things like the little divot to the right of the triangle second up from the bottom of the one on the left side.

3. The grain matches up exactly as it runs through the carved shapes.

4. Another quirk in the wood that matches up.

When you blow it up, the details match wherever you look.

May not be the same seller but they sure look like the same actual beams.
Sorry, it just kind of stood out to me.
