August 5, 1956?

Just saw this one on eBay:

Rare 1950's Real Early Original Black White Photograph of Elvis Presley Photo NR

It's cropped, so it doesn't look genuine. Found this colored one as well:

Is it correct that this one was taken in Tampa, Florida on August 5, 1956 (as I read somewhere on pinterest)?

From the description:

"Item Description

You are bidding on an Original Elvis Presley Black White Photograph from a Fresh Local Estate."

My guess is that its genuine, but not one of a kind. Probably was from the 1950s, but was a mass produced photo. Again, this is just a GUESS.

Yeah, the image appears to be at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory in Tampa on 8-05-1956 (Sun).
