You're correct. There are many E91 images that look like the named player.
For those unfamiliar - The E91 set utilizes the same image for three different players. The 33 images would have to come from a players photo originally. Only names and team names were changed when the same image was re-used for other series.
Most believe set A is representation of the original players/photos and then "repeated" in series "B" and "C". Obviously, big names are easy to identify but other more obscure players are tougher to ID with 100% certainty.
Evers, McGraw, Plank, Overall - I think all of their E91 drawings look very much like the actual person.
