Has anyone compared Patricia to this unidentified woman?

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The timeline seems to match up.
yes i had noted in an earlier post that there were likenesses. However, in addition to what I said before re. the UID wearing work clothes, also the UID sketch (one of them) showed her wearing glasses. It says that Patricia had just reading glasses, but that they were left at home.
Also, she wasn't at the main truck stop at end of night, a male had dropped her off outside Grove City so not likely a truck drove her the 8-9 hrs. to where the UID was found. I just don't think it is her, but if anyone else does, please by all means send the info. to be checked!

Sadly both her parents passed away. Her father Domer R. Seelbaugh on Oct. 14, 2002 and her mother Betty Jane Seelbaugh on August 24, 2020. In her obituary Obituary for Betty Jane Seelbaugh at Cunningham Funeral Home Patricia is listed as missing since February 1973. Although all MP reports say October 26, 1973.
RBBM

PSP Mercer County sent me Patricia's info back in 2008 to have her added to DN and my old PA Missing site.

Text of the email in part - notice that Patricia's birth date is February 24, 1956. I'm wondering if whoever wrote the obit for her mother erroneously used Patricia's birth month instead of October when she went missing.

Circumstances: She was last seen in the company of friends at the Barkeyville truck stop in Barkeyville Pa. This truck stop is located off of Interstate 80 just east of interstate 79. She was dropped off with a known male at a residence in the area located just outside of Grove City Pa, commonly referred as Hallville. That is the last time she was seen, it was late, most likely after midnight. The investigation case number is D3-24406.
 
I wonder where are the friends' testimonies. Patricia spent the night with some friends at a truck stop, I imagine they can provide an account about that night:
What did they do?
Was Patricia in good spirits?
Did she have a date?
Were any of the male friends interested on her?
How was her relationship with the male who gave her a ride?
Why did she want to go to Grove City?
Did she live there or was she meeting anyone else?

It would be great if any of her friends could answer some of these questions.
