That's a great question. At the moment, I am unsure. The one photo (the one with the signatures on the bottom part) hasn't been removed from the frame. It has a paper backing that would have to be ripped off and then dismantled.
The secondary photo was in an old outdated frame. After removing the frame, it was discovered that the photo was affixed to a piece of cardboard backing. The photo would be much too delicate to attempt to remove. Back in 1951, I guess my grandfather just wanted to make a nice display piece.
The backs of the photos will play a huge part of the authentication process. Hopefully the "main" photo will have easier access to its backside.
