 That's it, in a nutshell.  At least, that's some of the opinions I've read which, on a very casual examination of that photo, seem to have some passing merit.
I certainly haven't examined the photos you linked to before assessing that merit, and I'll do so before I form any opinion of my own.  I'd like the photo to be real.  I'm quite taken with its portrait of young Ian.
