It took me a few, but the lower version is either an earlier or later version of the same painting. The figure representing James B. Irwin is a repaint. My guess is the image on NASA’s site is later, reworked to give the figure a slightly more dramatic pose. The painting is by a North American Rockwell artist.

S69-18546
S69-18546 (February 1969) — North American Rockwell artist’s concept illustrating the docking of the Lunar Module ascent stage with the Command and Service Modules during the Apollo 9 mission. The two figures in the Lunar Module represent astronauts James A. McDivitt, Apollo 9 commander; and Russell L. Schweickart, lunar module pilot. The figure in the Command Module represents astronaut David R. Scott, command module pilot. The Apollo 9 mission will evaluate spacecraft lunar module systems performance during manned Earth-orbital flight.

Deimos Storyboard
Mission to Mars (Project Deimos)
- Hydrogen tanks jettison as ROMBUS spaceship accelerates from Earth-orbit;
- Two hydrogen tanks jettison after retro-thrust into Mars orbit. Mars Landing Module separates from ROMBUS parent above the cratered deserts;
- After soft-landing, astronauts begin exploration setting out research equipment and taking meteorological soundings;
- Ascent stage of Mars Landing Module returns astronauts to ROMBUS parent in Martian orbit for return to Earth.
