Larry Laffer (aka Short Man) appears to be an older Larry Laffer from an earlier age (or earlier games).
Background
He is how Larry would look if 20 years passed (or even closer to the present; 26 years had passed since the original version of LSL1) and had returned to Lost Wages to find true love.
Larry has been wearing polyester for almost 50 years. He is a software salesman, that came to Lost Wages to find true love. He spent his life being shot down for women for wearing polyester but he doesn't care. He once used several items (carried by young Larry) to win the heart of a beautiful woman (Eve), and he got points for finding them (young Larry doesn't collect points for finding).
