Yes, very sad about poor Basil.

Caz, presumably you referring to the photo of Basil being the same as the chap in photo 2?
I think there are differences in the shape of the chin and jawline, but the bottom lip and nose look the same. Difficult to tell whether eyes are the same. I would say there are definite similarities. The moustache has obviously been waxed for the formal photograph.
The chaps all look very dapper.
