He hasn't been here for a while, and his reception was a bit rocky, but you could try reaching out to @Kim Weston who posted here: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/ask-a-weston.186206/
@Merg Ross would be an excellent resource on this!
You could also try contacting Merg Ross.
Can I ask why Merg Ross?
@Merg Ross would be an excellent resource on this!
He knows/knew the Westons personally.
Very cool to know. TY!

I know a couple people on Facebook who would recognize their dads if those are pictures of them as you think. Can you post them there and share the link?
Thanks Matt, and those who suggested that I might know.
I met Edward, along with Brett, Cole and Neil in 1948. The photos in question here are of course before that time. I would like to believe that these photos are of the two Weston sons. Perhaps they are, but I am unfamiliar with the circumstances that might justify the claim.
Why did you choose Neil as the subject? I look at Brett with his trademark pipe and consider him more likely. Cole perhaps. But then there is the eight year age gap between Brett and Cole. These photos are most likely from the 1930's, Cole born in 1919.
As to EW being the photographer, he was noted for more well composed, flattering portrait sittings. These surely fail in that respect.
Wishing you well in your search for the truth.
