Sadly the image is not as pristine as I'd want but beggars can't be choosers.

Awesome! Right off the bat I can see Charlie Krehmeyer in the 1883 photo identified as "Creamyer". Looking at Packard, could he be the person in the back row, far right of the 1884 photo? I'm going to need to look at the correlation between the 1883 and 1884 clubs to see where the overlap was.
One thing that does jump out as interesting is that Al Buckenberger in the 1883 photo is clean shaven, while in the 1884 photo he has the mustache.
I have not found a McCannion in the 1883 Terre Haute papers, but I did find an Ed McKennan.
