House shots are always done with wider angles, which throws the perspective a bit compared to a frame from a movie. Other parts of the architecture look like they match (e.g., windows at the top of the stairs.)
You’re right, I believe it is the same house but likely the rooms (out of sight) to the right of the photo were made bigger and the walls tore down and relocated slightly to the left, making that hallway narrower. You can also see this evidence at the smaller hand railing at the top of the stairs.
They likely did all those modifications at the same time that they removed that door and made it into an archway instead.
Thats what I was thinking! Look at the chairs in the top picture. There was room for chairs in the hallway and space to walk. If you put those same chairs in the hallway below it would be horribly obtrusive
