The unknown man (center) looks as if the photographer told him to put his hand on his hip and he did so, and to put one foot forward, which he did, and both look unnatural and awkward, particularly the hand on hip. Booth's bent arms always look graceful and purposeful. There seems to be no reason for the unknown man's hand to be on his hip other than because the photographer told him to put it there.

Also the left boot (his left) of the unknown man looks damaged/worn because it curls up at the toe and there is something that looks torn or loose on top of the toe area. Compare to Booth's boot to the right.

I just noticed too the length of the frock coats. Our unidentified man's coat is considerably shorter than any of the others. That suggests a slightly later time period (or special uniform) to me. Those shorter styles were called sack coats.
