Yes, there's three men on the monument, two different angles om the photo.
The hand pointing is the same in both and the only thing visible of the
third man in the old photo/ The stone structure appears to be the same.

> I thought that your statue was "Naval Group" from the other side. My
first impression of it was a marine scene. Look at that again. See that
hand
stretched out low? Isn't that what we see in your photo?<

If it's the same statue, the angle certainly covers the 3rd figure from
either side. I do think that it's likely at Lincoln's tomb, going by the
design of the railing and state 'plaques' there.
Compare these 2 pictures back and forth like I did:

Why, oh, why couldn't the site have posted a shot of the sculpture from
a
straight-on angle showing all of the men??
Glad Sharon pointed out the phantom hand reaching out on the far side.
That was the only thing that convinced me that the statues are one and the
same! Good sleuthing, Sharon!!!
Best,
