They look remarkably similar Susan. There certainly would be a moral objection to representing the work as your own if it were merely plagiarised. Apparently this sort of thing goes on a lot in academic circles, and it is only peer pressure that forces the plagiarist to desist.

2) If you feel the picture has been altered, do you agree that representing a
product to sell using a picture of a totally different product is fraudulent?
What would YOU do if one of your pics wer used, altered, and then used to
market a product? Are we lessening our "implied copyright" by posting on the
internet? I have no actual knowledge of the legalities...but common sense
tells me something could be done about this.
