New photo of Dr Mudd from Mr Dave Taylor?

[L Verge]

As best as I can see it, I have been focusing on the gentleman's nose, and it is quite close to resembling Dr. Mudd's in the carpentry shop photo. I am leaning more and more to it being a photo of Mudd, and if so, I'm speculating that it was taken as he prepared to leave for home. The only hitch is that it is a very relaxed photo for such an event.

What are the chances of the photo having been taken by a reporter from the mainland who was there to cover the departure of Mudd from the fort? Could this photo have appeared in print somewhere? Or, was it just a photo taken by someone who had been assigned to do the other photos of construction, etc. around the fort?

Very frustrating, this guessing game; but as I posted on Dave's site, this is what historians go through to seek the truth. And, it's nice to think that there are still things out there for us to discover or ponder over.
