Clues: According to Dr King, the portrait of a man in red chalk , believed to depict da Vinci around 1515, has similar features to those shown in the two apostles.

The two faces do look similar, but the noses in the painting look a lot sharper than the earlier self portrait nose.

Michaelangelo's "David" has a greek nose. Some folks believe that a greek nose is considered aesthetically perfect. It doesn't have to reflect any reality about a subject, it can just be used by an artist because it looks good.
So when you see a greek nose, it need not be a self-portrait of Leonardo, it may just be an artistic ideal.

Well, it's not exactly if he was painting the actual supper as it happened...
I would imagine that he painted [it] from his imagination, or a sketch from his imagination.
If he did use live models, perhaps they were related?
That's not to mention that it isn't exactly unheard of artists to use their own features, or variations thereof, in their paintings either.

Looks like there are two Leonardo De Caprio’s - their big mouths give them away.

Hiya, Joe!
Maybe one was Leonardo's stunt double.

Well, it's not exactly if he was painting the actual supper as it happened... Jesus: "We'd like a table for 26, please."
Waiter: "But there are only 13 of you..?"
Jesus: "True, but we're planning for everyone to sit on the same side...."

Maybe Tom Hanks will make a movie out of it like he did when the last “expert” noted Mary Magdalene was at the table and she was the holy grail.

I'm getting to abhor "experts". They put this "stuff" out there to get other experts to agree or disagree...ND THEY ALL GET GRANT MONEY !!!!!
Look how long the Turin bit has been out there...and how many have profited....and will profit in the future. Guess what....these mysteries will never be solved because "the whole truth" is not the criteria of "experts".
