Paul Murry drew a version of "Dangerous Disguise" (OS #308) called "Railroaded".

Another clue is that the original Barks story could be considered the peak of a special but short lived aspect of Barks as a Duck comic book artist...

I did not think of non-Disney comics as a possible solution to my original question so your answer could be argued to fit the description, but I also refined which story I had in mind above with :

"The remaining story has an obvious ressemblance in some respects, both artwise and storywise, and is a Duck story in this case..."
Also Murry was already chosen in the other solution.

So I think you are only half right so to speak - BUT you have come much closer by coincidence :-)
Runner
OK, the coincidence is that Joakim Gunnarsson was right about the One-shot, i.e. 308 Dangerous Disguise, but the Duck story is still missing and looking through the story now I realize that you could identify another borrowing by Strobl (or the script writer) in the same story but from another Barks One-shot - actually from my favorite Barks comic as far as the art is concerned...
Runner
Since no one has come up with the right second story I do so myself now :
http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+DD+++78-02
It is Donald Duck Tenderfoot Tourist from Donald Duck 78 by Tony Strobl.
The first example is the sign in the very first panel both in Dangerous Disguise and Tenderfoot tourist which in the first case reads Genoa, Paris, Toulon, Geneva and the same in the second case except for that Paris is substituted by Marseille.
The second example is the spy under the seat in the train in Danegerous Disguise who is substituted by a jewel thief but in a similar sequence of events where the crook also pops up under the seat and is forced out of the train window.
The third example is borrowed from Donald Duck in the Old Castle´s Secret when a nephew looks down in an armor and see the skeleton. In the Strobl version it is Donald who is alive (of course) but tied up in the armor. Also the nephews make notice of the former owners of three armors as is the case also in the Barks original but different names since it is in a different country also.

Therefore Lars Jensen is declared the winner for the best answer (The Murry stamp story art) in this case.

In all fairness, that Barks-Murry remake is very well-known. Most people would have been able to post the answer.

(The Barks-Strobl remake was a tough one, though...)
Runner
Yes, but you did so which is what matters here :-)

I'll help out with a new question:
How many Barks comics do you know that use flashbacks (from one panel to a complete story) featuring a younger Scrooge?
Comics drawn but not written by Barks do count as well, whereas comics set only a few days or months in the past don't (e.g. WDC 221 and "That's No Fable").
I'm aware of nine Barks comics fitting the criteria.
Runner
I ought to know many, but let´s start with US 386 Only a Poor Old Man :-)

The following Scrooge as well (my favorite among Scrooge adventures) Back to the Klondike O.S. 456 (if you include the previously censored pages, of which one half page was printed the first time (?) in Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book from 1981 and all known existing pages in Walt Disney's Uncle $crooge McDuck: His Life and Times also from 1981)

Also Donald Duck O.S. 238 Voodoo Hoodoo

U.S. 26 Return To Pizen Bluff

U.S 44 The Invisible Intruder (only art by Barks - poor quality of the script)

U.S.49 The Loony Lunar Gold Rush

U.S. 59 North of the Yukon

Uncle Scrooge goes to Disneyland 1 from 1957 The Fantastic River Race

Christmas Parade 9 Christmas In Duckburg (only art by Barks, but story OK)

Total 9 stories so far.

------------------

Not counting "reincarnation stories" such as U.S. 16 Back To Long Ago!
Sirredknee
I am not sure if "Christmas in Duckburg" does count. I don't think there's much of a difference between "last Christmas" and "a few months in the past".
The others are spot on, of course! "The Loony Lunar Gold Rush" was probably the hardest one to think of?
However, one story (at least) is still missing!

Well, you wrote "only a few days or months in the past don't ". Nearly one year was not cleárly ruled out by you :-)

Anyhow I agree about the "Lunar"-story even if I remembered the scene but not first which story.

The remaining is(are ?) harder I think...

There's that obscure one-pager, "The Windy Story". Other than that, I can't think of any.
Sirredknee
Very good that man! I didn't think of that one. In other words: still one missing.
Michiel P
Quote from user: sirredkneeHowever, one story (at least) is still missing!
In "Black Wednesday" (1959) Barks shows a younger Scrooge peddling hair tonic among the Chillyboot Indians in 1908.
Sirredknee
That's the one I had in mind. There's also the "Mush!"-onepager of which I'm not sure if it's set in the present or the past.

So here's the complete (?) list in chronological order:

Voodoo Hoodoo
Only a Poor Old Man
Back to the Klondike
The Fantastic River Race
Return To Pizen Bluff
Black Wednesday
The Windy Story
The Invisible Intruder
The Loony Lunar Gold Rush
North of the Yukon

Runner's turn!
