I'm not sure, but it kind of looks like one. Sorry that I can't post the pic, only a link.

I think that's an Irwin, perhaps the Mr. Green Jeans model?

Photoshop?

Although I always liked the Captain K; so in my mind he IS rocking an Alembic and his phrasing is as creative as Dancing Bears smooth steps.

So what is the difference between an Irwin and an Alembic?

To my untrained eye they look to be one in the same.

And yes, the Kangaroo King still rocks regardless of his weapon of choice!
:-D

So what is the difference between the body type of a Jerry and a Captain?

To my untrained eye, it has to be pointed out.

And I agree, my childhood heroes still rock.

No difference, Jerry was a captain:

Captain Trips.

Another bit of trivia: Prior to becoming Capt. Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan played Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show.
