I agree with Gadget, the fashions would be very different in 1920/30

Well in that case I don't think the man in it can be my 2nd great grandad Alexander Munro because he looks older in it than in the second two photos which I am pretty sure are later, would you agree ?

For comparison.  It does look like your 2x

Middle man Reply 5 has a different skull.

Human skull shape is finally developed by 20 to early 20s.

The two men in the three photos are older than this.

That's actually what I was thinking, a different shaped skull. My 2nd great grandad Alexander Munro (1859-1938) who is shown in the other two photos did have a younger brother called Hugh Munro (1870-1945), so maybe its him.

It's difficult to compare full and 3/4 faces. However, I've cut the middle face in half and overlaid the relevant side on the other two.

Well that is very clever, I can't ask for much more than that. The problem I have is that the photo that most people think is the earliest here, seems to be the one where he looks oldest.
