Yes it is!

The second photo doesn't show a power station at all since there's no
generation facility on it.
It's only a place where power is switched and transformed, just like the
first photo.

So distinguishing is not only wrong but hard to establish.

The voltages in and out should be written on power=transformer, more than
the substation.
