Is it recommended to get new headshots (photos) for the residency application cycle ? Or could we recycles the headshots from 2nd year? Or does anyone really care and I’m over analyzing this?

You are overthinking it. Any good picture will do, as long as the image reflects yourself today. If you are ranking a program where you did an externship, then that's the most important thing since they would know everything about you. The application materials like board scores, LORs, GPA etc.. are more for programs where you did not extern/visit.
Good luck with the rankings and match.

It's just to jog their memory if they might confuse a couple externs... popular programs get many externs.
As said, as long as it looks like you, it's fine.

Its a small world.
We know who you are by name alone especially if you've clerked for a month.
We know what you were like, whether you were early or late, whether you were helpful or lazy, whether you threw other students/patients under the bus or took it on the chin.
Have a professional headshot submitted. It will not magically gain you an invitation.
