Yup. There are a million causes for stunted growth that aren't inherited. And these two look the same if you overlook the height and age.
Also sometimes genes pass down and skip a generation or two. I have the same general build and height of my great grandfather (though I'm more robust) but his own sons look closer to my great grandmother.
