Small Question About First and Second-Party Sources

... (especially since the one I found does have a notable difference or two), but I wanted to ask before uploading what is effectively a duplicate.

An example might help, but if there's a notable difference or two it doesn't sound like a duplicate to me.

If it is the same image and comes from the same site you can request a replacement in the Image Replacements thread (according to UNB) because first party sources are usually preferable.

It is not unfortunately. The version I found is from DeviantArt, whereas the second-party upload, post #3704258, is from Twitter.

The one I'm wanting to upload is from here. I've noticed this version is also smaller too, and lacks the English text at the top. Hence, my uncertainty.

If I locate a first-party version of a post from a second-party source, is there still value in uploading the first-party source? I feel like there is (especially since the one I found does have a notable difference or two), but I wanted to ask before uploading what is effectively a duplicate.

If there's differences then it's always worth it.
