I think there might be some similarities, but it's hard to be certain.

Would you be able to do a very high resolution scan of just the faces, to give us a better chance to compare the features?

First i used  japeflakes photo to point out 3 possible similar parts of the face.

1) The gents right eye (or left looking at it) is slightly at an angle in both photo's.
2) His cheeks are similar  His mouth at a slight angle.
£) His mouth is at a slight angle.

Thank you all so much for taking the trouble to try and solve the puzzle. I appreciate your input.   I think from the very clear highlighted illustration that it probably is the same person. Thank you once again Anne x

Just spotted something on the mans left eyebrow (or right looking at it)

A gap in the left eyebrow

I would guess the photos are 40-50 years apart, so not the same man I would hazard,
