Preliminary Conclusions:
The pupil/lip ratio, especially, appears to be way out of whack between the Dallas Booking photo of Oswald (11/22/63) and every other photo of Oswald (with the exception of the zoo and the kiddie shots in the multiple image picture).
This also could indicate a different person, could be a failure of the methodology I have used in this comparison, or it could be something wrong with Oswald's upper lip after his arrest (it seems to be too short). I can't figure out what facial expression, besides smiling (which he isn't doing in the booking photo), could shorten the distance in the booking photo from nose to upper lip. There are several which might lengthen the distance, but shortening that distance seems problematic. Was Oswald's lip swollen from his arrest? Looking at profile shot after his arrest, it doesn't appear so.
The only other apparently significant differences is that the "Minsk" Oswald's nose is too long, the "Teenage" Oswald's pupils aren't wide enough (which might actually be a result of the squinting), and the "Schoolboy" Oswald's pupil's are too wide.
By contrast, the pupil/earlobe ratio appears to fall within the range of error due to pixelation for every one of these photos. That seems to indicate the same person in each photo.
I'm going to employ Excel to create a spreadsheet to see if there are any striking similarities or differences in the photo, or clumps of similarities. For the spreadsheet, I'm going to eliminate the P/E ratio since it falls within the minimum and maximum range of error for every photo.
