...all of the landforms and craters correlate to Apollo 15 data.
Um, they clearly do not. There are considerable salient features in each version of the photography (Apollo "20" and Apollo 15) that are not represented in the other, even in areas of high fidelity. While you have identified a number of features that do correlate, you appear to have ignored the features that don't.
I have considerable experiance in photo editing...
Exactly what is your experience and where did you obtain it? I have been a photographer for more than 25 years, and at the University of Utah I both studied and taught photographic interpretion and image processing for engineering purposes, including the recovery of three-dimensional data from shading information. My photographic interpretation expertise has been featured on the National Geographic channel and recognized by the journal Science.
I disagree with your assessment and correlation, and I would like to see something besides your assertions that these photos are equally valid representations of the same moonscape. And kindly do not handwave about better data; the data at hand on your linked page are sufficient to investigate an alleged correlation between coarse "land masses and craters" and draw a conclusion about likely equivalence.
