I don't think it is different handwriting for James' entry. Maybe the ages are in a different hand but not the names. I've done another crop from the image showing the surname for everyone in the household so that you can judge for yourself.

Well, I'm no expert, but I wouldn't like to bet that the last entry is in the same hand, but it could be the same hand, but written more hurriedly  :)
RIP 1949-10th January 2013

That last r is just the same- but the pen seems thinner to me?

Same hand, in my opinion, but different pen, and written hurriedly. I have a case of who I think is a relative found on the deaths register of Doncaster Infirmary in 1890, neither the birth nor death ever registered that I can find, so it appears that there were frequent errors made.
