To me it looks like Charles M. Duke, Jr. Look closely at the Apollo 16 flight patch on his jacket. From the many photo I have seen of Mr. Duke, it certainly looks like him. |

And the other guy is Nicolas Hayek from the Swatch Group, owner of Omega.

Good catch--it's definitely a pre-J-mission suit, as it has the 'diaper' snap on the crotch. My understanding is that those earlier suits wouldn't bend at the waist enough to allow the crewmembers to sit on the rover. |
