Sure it is, i think Niki himself could laugh with it. Several years ago Niki was at the place of the accident at the Nurburgring, some guy asked him what he was doing there and Niki said "i'm looking for my ear"

Unlike Stuck, Lauda, one of the most courageous and audacious heroes in any sport, hated the 'Ring. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of his accident. He drove out to the Bergwerk corner with his friends, Bernie Ecclestone and caterer Karl-Heinz Zimmerman. "There were some spectators, who did a double-take when they saw me," he said. "'You're Niki Lauda. What are you doing here?' they asked. I told them I was looking for my ear." Whereupon Lauda bent over the barrier and pretended to pick up a pig's ear that he had taken specially with him. "Look! I found it!"

Getting the details confused just proves how difficult they are to tell apart.
