The size and shape of the heads are totally different.

It's impossible to tell the size of their heads from the pictures; however, when the two different pictures are made the same size and merged you can see that everything matches except the jaw line at the side (including the way the widow's peak leans slightly over to one side on both of them.)

True, the lower half of the face is thinner on Azmath. He might have lost 15 pounds or so and 5 o'clock shadow might make him look thinner there.

I have to agree I am concerned about the lower jaw and the upper lip.

Using a computer you can merge any two pictures into whatever results you want.

All you have to do is look at the image on the left; that man has a long face with a large square jaw. The second man has a shorter face with a smaller jaw.

There is a distinctive space between the eye brows for the man on the left, almost none for the man on the right.

The man on the left has a narrow nose, the man on the right a wider nose.

Other than appearing Arab in original these two have little in common.

Then again, the John Doe #2 illustration is just that, an artist's illustration, not a photograph of an individual. If the artist was told, "He had a square jaw," then he/she would draw a square jaw. "Like this?" "Yeah, sort of like that." If there were two photographs to morph and compare, slight differences like the exact jawline or the precise thickness of the top lip would carry more weight. My .02, FWIW.

My bet is still on Al-Hussaini as the most likely John Doe II. It would be nice if there was a photo available. Al-Hussaini called a TV press conference to announce his law suit challenging his JD2 status, so at least there is videotape available somewhere.
