1 1/2 consecutive paragraphs:

"中国官方媒体 [Xinhua and CCTV] 星期天报道，桂民海因涉12年前的一桩酒驾撞人车祸而回国投案自首。消息传出后，不但没有平息事件引起的舆论波澜，反而引发更多新的疑问。

"据中国官媒《新华社》1月17日晚报道，铜锣湾书店瑞典籍东主桂民海，2003年底在内地驾车撞死一名女学生，缓刑期间用他人证件出境而遭公安追缉，去年 10月向公安机关投案自首。中央电视台晚上也播出了对桂民海的访问。但网民发现，官媒刊出的 p驾车撞死[ 刑事判决书上的名字 '桂敏海' 与媒体所称的 '桂民海' 明显不 同；官媒报道桂民海在案发时46岁，但有媒体证实桂生于1964年，即他在案发时只有39岁。此外，媒体发现，片段中的桂民海的衣服一会儿是黑色的一会儿是灰色的，头发的长度也有不同。

(a) View only the last photo, which shows disparity of shirts.

(b) the Cantonese comment on that particular photo "件底衫唔連戲"
(i) Though pronounced differently, 件 in Cantonese and Mandarin means the same. Here 這 is omitted.
(ii) 底衫
https://zh-yue.wikipedia.org/wiki/底衫
("底衫，廣義上係指最入面嗰浸嘅衫褲，又叫底衫褲，狹義就專指上身嘅底衫，唔包底褲")

my translation: 底衫: broadly defined as underwear (including top and bottom (ie, boxer or panties) ); strictly speaking it is the top or undershirt, excluding the bottom.

底衫 may be used for undershirt (or underwear) of both males and females, adults and children.
(iii) 唔 = negative (not, no etc)
(iv) 唔連戲, whose antonym is 連戲 (defined as "continuity" in English)
(v) For 喎, see User: Danielairy/粵字表

("喎  粵語發音：wo5 意思：語氣詞，常用在表達別人的吩咐 舉例：佢 [he or she] 叫你今日去開會喎")

Basically the word has no meaning, more or less like 唄 (which is unknown in Taiwan).
