Each symbol is for one specific person, so he's either one or the other. Unless the glasses is s clever misdirect, which this show is known for. Heck, they released a fake scene as a misdirect so anything's possible!

The misdirect is Stan being the author, and it is meant to fool the casual viewer. It is inconceivable that the 6 fingered hand symbol refers to anyone but the author, and Stanford's fez symbol has to refer to Stanford (who clearly has 5 fingers per hand). I prefer the idea that Stanford was either a second asisstant to or brother of the author.

Also, I would like to point out that If Stan has an Identical twin, the twin would also have 5 fingers just like Stan. Hence, Stan's twin is not the author. If Stan's brother was not an identical twin, he could have 6 fingers and thus be the author.
