Just a small addition - the latter position is already given
in Max Lange's "Handbuch der Schachaufgaben", (1862!); as author 
and source are given:
A.Barbe
Illustrirtes Familien-Journal, Aufgabe 260
Matt in einem Zuge

and the intended solution very well puts the focus on the
superfluous black pawn: remove any of the upper-half black pawns
to have a #1 for White.

Best regards,
