I put up the poster on the page, its for an old movie. Your about right as a lot of old posters of any kind were all done in the same similar style. Airbrush art was cheap and quick to produce art for, as oil paints took ages to draw and photographs were expensive and they didn't have Photoshop. A lot of the early acrylic paints were also rather dull when they first appeared. So there was this issue to consider as well.

Artists who worked on things like product placements, often were desperate for money so took any job given to them. In the UK, this meant a lot of the time Ladybird children's books employed artists who also did art for car promotions, simply because they were desperate for work and the book art helped paid the bills.

Needless to say, its why one artist could be doing art for a can of beans one day, a movie poster the next and then art for a propaganda poster the following. And since it was all the same artist, the mediums they used and the style was more or less the same.
