'Could be the gentleman in the back row: the third in, from the right.'

I'd go with this one based solely on the appearance of the nose of both gents, though you can't of course allow for what may have happened to it during his life.

Third in from the right hand side on the back row, or back row sixth one in from the right. :-\

Many thanks to all who replied, sorry for keeping you in suspense.

I'm glad that many of you suggested the Hussar I was thinking of - Back Row, third from the right!

Matching up the two photos, the eyes, ears, mouth all look similar.

Apparently there's another photo of him in uniform on his own somewhere...

I'll keep you posted.

So many different answers but to my eyes the bloke on the RHS facing  the screen - 2nd row from the top standing on the very far right with his leg extended.  Has the same jaw line and set of the mouth and the eyes

Cheers
