There are some conflicts between sources on the date of birth. Going with the most precise, which is also from a registrar - so assuming also the most accurate.

Some records Show a birth date of 24/Dec/1889 however, there was only one Donald Cumming born in 1889, and his birth was registered on 24th December 1889 so I believe they are the same person.
