That's interesting. It looks to me as though the Kennan and Leeson photos are separate pictures of the same scene, taken at the same time with the photographers next to each other, for example on the same expedition/photo tour. Look at the tuft of grass in each one in relation to the bears - it shows slightly different angles. Or it could be that the site I linked to had wrongly attributed the photo.
