Is there any connection between the mechanist FO3 and FO4?

I did a search for lore and found nothing not even in the fallout bible or on the fallout wiki, is there any connection between the mechanist FO3 and FO4 if not how did isabel get the Mechanist costume from scott the fallout 3 Mechanist or is it two different costumes?

In Isabel's bedroom, there is a drawing, Drawing of the Mechanist with the innitials DP on it. The Mechanist, Isabel Cruz isn't DP, so she didn't draw it... so who did?

The popular theory and most likely artist would be Derek Pacion. Who in Fallout 3 was a 15 year old boy you could meet during the Fallout 3 Mechanist vs Antagonizer quest. He tells the Lone Wanderer that he likes to draw posters of The Mechanist.

It is more likely that same art from Derek Pacion made it into Isabel's hands and she was inspired by Derek's drawings of a 'real world' mechanist suit that inspired her to make her own. So no, the Mechanist suit Isabel wears is not the same one that Scott Wallinski (Fallout 3's Mechanist) wore, but it was directly inspired by it.
