SUBJECT        : Photo Comparison

REFERENCE      : DDO/LA Division  Memo, dated 25 March 1977


     1.  On 23 March.Chris  Hopkins of Latin America Division handcarried
photographs to OTS/GAD  for identification comparison.  These photos were
examined by the undersigned  and two identification experts of the Disguise
and Identification Section.

     2.  The results  of the comparison is as follows:

         A.  Facial Shape    Close similarities, although there are slight
differences which are  probably due to subject's age differences.

         B.  Chin -.Fair  similarities-the loss of muscletone due to ageing
is most apparent here.

         C.  Hair Line  - Again good similarity with the natural ravages of
time factored in.

         D.  Set and  Proportion of Eyes and Eyebrows - Close similarities.
(Comparison of eve detail  is not possible due to poor photo quality)
         E.  Nose and Caliper  Lines - Close similarities in the nose but
the younger man has no  sign of the distinctive caliper lines which extend
from the nose to either  side of the mouth. on the known Soviet. This could
be explained by loss of muscletone  and/or differences in lighting.

         F.  Mouth - The  shape, proportion and expression of the mouth and
the whole area from the  tip of the nose.to the tip of the chin is perhaps
the most distinctive characteristic  of both subjects.  Here the similarities
are very close.
