ah, you are all great, and, when you google images of all people guessed here, you see that mostly the difference is, since still no detail, from which you finally can decide, the three mentioned here are similar when seen without details. thanks for participating... keep guessing !

Already has a very good likeness to "Albert E=mc2", can't wait to see it finished.
