For what it's worth, it does appear to be the same gecko. Their side pattern can change significantly, and so can the dorsum to an extent as they grow. The picture from Urban Geckos appears to be a picture of the gecko when it was younger. While the pattern will change some, the breaks in the dorsum pattern will stay mostly the same shape, just more dilute looking. It's also common for orange pattern to fade into a lighter yellow or cream color. I don't know if the original image is doctored color wise, but it's possible it was that orange at a young age. It's rare that they keep that orange pattern color to adulthood. That said, that base color of the adult should be darker if that original picture was accurate. I'm my experience, bass colors don't lighten significantly, and even often become darker.
