Walt,
Don't believe it's the same table as the poker game. Certainly not the same
chairs, wallpaper or border. Probably not the same room. Could be the same
photog, though. But there would then be some deception going on.
Measurements are noted in metric. I believe JL is an Indianapolis resident.
Wouldn't be the first time that was done on TOPE.
