Also, the incomplete figure may be holding something in his left hand but it's not a phone, unless it's a toy. A 1955 phone would have to be attached to something.
It turns out that half-head isn't holding anything. He's making the same closed fist thumb up sign that his teammates are making. The dark area that appears to be some object is shadow.
