Chris,
The picture is from a 4x5 set the Pirates issued in 1948 and 1949. Mike Wheat and I got together around Thanksgiving last year and between our collections determined there were 52 different poses in the set.
As for oldest living ballplayer, Westlake comes in fifth, but is the oldest living National Leaguer and former All Star. Here is a list from Wikipedia:
