Do they see the same thing?

About a year ago, I had an xray on my left shoulder. Result was Osteoarthritis.

Then I had an xray on the right shoulder. The result said.."comparison Oct./2019 left shoulder". There is mild to moderate AC osteoarthritis without calcific tendonitis

or fracture". How would the radiologist know if it's Osteo or Rheumatoid?

Am I safe in assuming that what was seen on the 2nd xray (right) looks the same as what was on the left??? Thanks! 

Update:

Rheumatoid arthritis doesn't just show in the blood.

    Same thing. Osteoarthritis is easy to spot, I have seen the X-rays of my knees. Rheumatoid shows in a blood test.
