Yes, it definitely is though your images are out of focus.

I see some difference, is it normal?

What exactly do you mean?

I notice that the barrel is different, Matchlock's pistol has a "cannon" barrel, the rifge at the en of the barrel, also the front sight is at a different place. The spring for the nipple protector is also different (a replacement).
