These seem legit based on the fact that a few of the non-Seamheads Cuban Leaguer photos they have on their page were confirmed and posted on here by tnfoto years ago so if we could get conformation on which name matches to which face for the ones here or the ones I will continue posting then that'd be good just due to the lack of concrete documentation of some of these guys.

Both Lacazzete and Nuņo played for the 1878-80 Almendares Team of the newly created Cuban League. There are two players with the last name Saavedra , Francisco and Rodrigo with the Habana team , accordingly to author Jorge Figueredo's book Who'sWho Cuban beseball. The League in those times did not allow negro players.
