They are not the same character. The Cover Girl was definitely based on Lola Del Rio, but there is no way they are the same character.

Firstly, there is nothing to suggest Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto take place in the same universes.

Secondly, Redemption takes place in 1911, while GTA IV takes place in 2008. Unless she's some sort of immortal, they're not the same.
