Help from Negro League experts! Clowns Postcard.

Hi guys,
Just got this postcard in the mail and I was wondering if anyone here can identify any of the players (I know King Tut is far left in the front row, Alex Radcliffe is top row fourth from left and "Bunny" Downs is far right wearing the suit). I've seen this postcard described as being from 1943, but it has to be 1944 since Radcliffe wasn't on this team until 1944.

My copy was sent to "Bob" from Henry Merchant who played for the team from 1943-48. Cincinnati-Indianapolis is written on the front and they went by this name from 1944-45. Merchant barely played on the team in 1943 but I was wondering if he was in the photo. Could this be a 1944 or 1945 postcard? If Merchant wasn't in this photo I'm curious why he wrote his name on it. Any help or information about this postcard is extremely appreciated!
Jeff
