A beardless comparison.
Note the shape of his head, Aussielass - with or without the beard you can see that he has broad cheeks and chin so that the sides of his face are pretty much parallel (rather than v-shaped or rounded like many people). It might be worth looking at his face shape in the old age photo to see if it is the same. Also the hair and hairstyle look the same. To my mind there's little doubt it's the same person.

Wow Peter, that's great, I think you have nailed it, both with your visual comparison and constructive notes. His disfigured left hand which is clasping his right arm shows more of the two fingers that weren't disfigured. The middle and pointer finger that are broken are not as clearly displayed. Thank you so much I have checked his old age photo for his face shape. Unfortunately it's not a very good photo, but good enough to see the similarity in face shape, even though his cheeks are a bit sunken. Brilliant detective work Peter, you, together with all the other comments and restorations from the helpful people on this site, have helped me solve and fill a gap that has been missing. I can now positively identify two photos that were previously an "unknown Duggan"
Kind Regards, Aussielass
