Good find on this, it would certainly seem that Cogswell's height listing is incorrect. I'm still not sure 100% on the face comparison between Cogswell and the mystery player but here is a comparison. For me it's the significant difference in the nose that really stands out to me. The nostrils look too different and the guy on the left has a much shorter nose.
