Default Help with 1955 Salem Rebels Photo - Orlando Cepeda pictured?

Need some help with the photo below. I have owned this for a few years now and was under the impression that Orlando Cepeda is pictured with his teammates from the 1955 Salem Rebels.

However, now I am not so sure. This item was on Phil Garry's old "rookie" checklist but I don't see Cepeda. The guy in the top row is far too dark skinned and the kid up front has an unusual mole and looks a bit scrawny (even though he would have been about 16 years old).

As much as I'd hate to have my suspicion confirmed, I'd like to know for a fact before trying to sell this to someone else under a faulty and false assumption. I'd also like to remove this from the "rookie" checklist if, indeed, it isn't Cepeda.
