Anyone recognise these young photographers?

I’ve been led to believe there may be a Sussex connection? Reportedly a book illustration from unknown title. Any leads & opinions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello. No revelation, but merely an observation - could the figures on either side be brothers, if not twins?  Even their clothing matches closely.  It might help to identify them, but begs the question of the central figure.

Peter, thanks, that’s interesting and yes, a resemblance indeed giving a direction to explore.
