Bob, great work! I hadn't considered that the mystery player in the composite could be from a different team, let alone have the same last name. I thought it was a labeling mix-up with two different Highlanders players. Thanks for your help!

The frequent photo errors from this period are usually a player with the same last name or similar since file photos often just had the last name written on the back.
