Underglaze-decorated Figures

I think that the two figures below may be from the same figure molds. The figure on the left has restoration to the head and is titled VIRGIN MARY on the base. I think both are decorated under the glaze with oxides, the right hand figure being in high-temperature oxides in a Pratt palette. Am I wrong, but are those exposed breasts on the RHS figure??
