It's a long stretch when you look at the dates, but i think there's a resemblence...

It would be helpful to know why she rented the car. Was there a known legitimate reason, or was it a surprise to her family?

It does seem unlikely, but did you submit it as a suggestion through the website anyway?

No i didn’t. You think they resemble enough? I’ve been here long enough to see people give the pro’s and con’s of jane/john does but i’m not sure enough of my own opinion/knowlege…

In my opinion, there is a good resemblance, but I think the unknown deceased woman looks younger than 50-ish. I also see what appears to be a mole above her lip, but that could also be artifact. And they don't mention her having the birthmark that Marina is known to have. Also the dates really don't match up, unless she had "walked away" from her life, which seems unlikely.

Yet it wouldn't hurt to submit the idea, since countries do not necessarily check every possibility from other countries. JMO/MOO.
