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

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.
