Nah, looking at monty I don't think they are the same age at all. Unless you declare that Mal looks a great deal younger than he is and Monty a great deal older than he is.
Monty appears well beyond the age of 40 to me. Maybe 50. Mal's nowhere near that age. I'd class him at 31 to 33, looks-wise and in terms of what development makes most sense to me. I know some people see Mal as older than that, but.. Mal and Monty the same age really does seem a bit of a stretch, visually.
Hard to tell though, underneath all that rough exterior, but yeah, Monty really does look older. I'd say about 5 years, at least.
According to the BDM deleted scene, Mal is supposedly in his fifties; now there's a real stretch! :) I don't buy it, though. I agree, Mal is a typical thirtysomething.

Bwah, yeah, the numbers on that screen have GOT to be a typo! Hee!
In fact, if you switch them into 2486 instead of 2468, that puts Mal at exactly 31 in 2517, at the beginning of the series, so I'm going with that. No way is Mal in his fifties, that would really throw his backstory! *G*

Penny for the smart lady! :) Hadn't thought about transposing those numbers; but 31 makes a great deal of sense. I always figured Mal maybe 35, tops, with Monty 42 or some such. But 31-33 is entirely possible from his looks.
When I said Mal and Monty are about the same age, I figured, from the level of equality between them, that they can't be too far apart. But Mal, say, in this twenties having a thirty-year old uncle who he is on equal terms with, even a 10 year gap like that is still quite plausible.

I swear I read somewhere (maybe in the Serenity visual guide), that Monty was Mal's cousin. Again, couldn't tell you where or when I read that.
