Martin Vetter - Two individuals or the same guy?

Could anyone tell me if this is the same individual.

1. Maj Martin Vetter: DKiG 27Jul42 (as Oblt with II./KG 51)

St.Kap. Erg.Sta./KG 51 Aug40-21Mar41 (as Hptm?)
II./KG 51 (27Jul42) (as Oblt)
Gr.Kdr. III./KG 3 Feb44-Oct44(09Sep44) (as Hptm)
Gr.Kdr. I./KG 53 Oct44(09Sep44)-Mar45 (as Maj)
Act? Gr.Kdr. II./KG 51 01Jan45-06Feb45 (as Maj)

2. Obst Martin Vetter: RK 16May40 (as Maj and Gr.Kdr. II./KG 26)

Gr.Kdr. II./KG 26 06Apr40-20Aug40 (as Maj)
Gr.Kdr. I./GKFS 3 Jul41-28Jun42 (as Maj)
Kdre. KG 40 Jul42-01Sep43 (as Obst)

The assignments potentially line up (albeit with "demotion" from Kdre. to Gr.Kdr.) but the ranks don't tally. If he is the same guy did he upset someone and get relieved of command of KG 40 (and get demoted)?

Best Regards
