Yes they are the same. There was another Jarrett that was the same body as Owen (with the two thumbs up)

It started as Owen and was then used for Jarrett after Owen passed away.

Yeah, that was pretty bad by Jakks. That explains why every Jarrett figure like that came with either a white or black tank top shirt on too, due to it was just Owen's singlet. But has anyone ever seen the original Jeff Jarrett in BCA series 6?? It was pretty gawdy.

LOL welcome to 1999!
Eventually that Owen body was used for a tanktop Kane as well.

Yeah, there were only three Owens with that head - Superstars Series 6 (alongside "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, coincidentally), 2 Tuff Series 3 and S.T.O.M.P. Series 2, whereas Jarrett had many re-releases and/or repaints using that head. It never quite worked for either one, though, so I don't know what Jakks was thinking at the time. It's even stranger that the two ended up teaming together.

The fact that they used the same body as Owen on top of that and never made a regular shorts version "ticked me off" and "made me mad".

It was either the horribly-plain tanktop mold (in such riveting colors as black and white) or ridiculously-huge sleeveless t-shirt mold (plz don't make him mad) for Jarrett. My initial response to your post before I realized it was about JJ was going to be a plea for a Slammys/Hart Foundation Owen Hart circa SummerSlam 1997 with short hair. That, or the rest of the Hart Foundation that we never received - Bret and company in street gear (which would have worked perfectly for a 1999 Davey Boy Smith), Pillman and Neidhart in proper BCA form, and possibly even Slammys accessories for Owen to carry to the ring. There was so much untapped potential in mid-to-late 1997 for Hart Foundation figures in the BCA line. Excluding those sleeveless HF jackets in the Best of '97 series, of course.

Yeah, I was really bummed we never got updated Hart Foundation figures. I got into wrestling around March of 1997 and they were my favorite from the get-go. I about **** myself when the Best of 97 figures came out - even if it was just Bret without glasses and little vests, it was still something updated. It's a shame they never made Anvil since we'd at least have a complete HF and Pillman in either STOMP form or Slammers form.

But has anyone ever seen the original Jeff Jarrett in BCA series 6?? It was pretty gawdy. I actually really liked that BCA6 Jarrett figure. It was gaudy, but so was he! I think it's the only figure ever released of Jarrett with that look and gimmick. I'd love it if there's a Jarrett like that in the TNA legends line.

However, it was not necessary any longer in late 1998/early 1999 when the Blue Blazer gimmick was revived (please excuse the pun). In fact, the 2 Tuff Series 3 figure in the first picture was released in early 1999, which had been outdated for some time. So, unless they considered another useless re-release or slightly different repaint, a regular Owen figure prior to his death wasn't much of a priority. Jakks' final Owen Hart figure was the notorious Blue Blazer from the DTA Tour Series 2 set, released around the time of his unfortunate death in late May 1999. That torso/head used for Owen's shorthaired figures hadn't been used since earlier in the year at that point.

The Blue Blazer head was actually a repainted Patriot head. They also used the same head for DOA Skull in the DTA sets that were used for his brothers figure 8-Ball in the DOA 2-pack with Chainz

Yeah, but can you blame them?
Given Jakks' limited resources and the wrestlers literally being referred to as the Harris Twins at various times in their careers, it only makes sense to re-use that head for the one-and-only Skull figure from the Best of '98 singles series.
The Slammers Series 2 Patriot head, on the other hand, is one of many reasons why I believe the BCA Blue Blazer figure is one of the top five (maybe even top three) most overrated figures in the history of Jakks Pacific's wrestling figure line.
