Even though I can kind of see the "markings"(they're around his elbow), I don't really see them being the same person; simply because one is dark-skinned with a brown "tattoo" and one is pale-skinned with a black tattoo(plus, "Khaki"s markings are to low on his arm; they stretch down past his elbow).

However, if they have the same tattoo design, that would suggest a past history together; they might have been "friends" at some point.

Emphasis on if here.
