Yes, I agree - fantastic work. Thank you, I would never have noticed those fingers. My guess is that he may be an Isles. My g grandfather John Isles b in Guadaloupe in 1814 and arrived in Australia in 1854. His father was also John Isles and was in the Royal Artillery - b in Clayworth Nottinhanshire but moved with his brother Thomas to Leith. He had children in Ireland in 1812 and Barbados 1817 & 1819.  I'm assuming the photos belong to the John who travelled to Australia  as there are several other portraits that came from Haddington & Edinburgh. Otherwise I have one of his sisters, Mary, marrying Alexander Malcom and then Hugh Stevenson.

My daughter uses www.victorianwars.com -- a public forum -- for all kinds of things like this. She thinks they're wonderful and suggests that you post over there!

The medal on our right is the Turkish Crimea War Medal. One of the others will be the British version.
