Here are the 1907 Morgan Stationary "Red Belt" postcard, and the black and white photo source image that was used. According to the website that was linked previously, it has been definitively identified as being Jimmy Collins. The basis of this definitive identification is not mentioned, but perhaps the photographer, which is known, identified it as such, or perhaps upon close examination the facial characteristics match Jimmy.
