The coat looks like a match, and the hair, looks like the right value/ color unless the guy's hair was red, and the amount of curl is the same and in the same places. Booth would have made sure his handkerchief was tidier than that! Now I see their hair is parted on the same side unless I don't know right from left. In the pic of Weichmann his forehead seems to slope back more, but I think it's because of a lock of hair laying at the top of his forehead. Definitely a maybe!

The window photo had to be taken between January 1864 and April 1865, I would think. I'm betting March or April of 1865, either during the Inauguration or the victory celebrations. Did Weichmann ever go back to his job at the Commissary General's office after the assassination? I'm also willing to bet that he never smiled again after the events leading up to July 7.
