Are you my grandfather or my cousin?

Everyone should know that old photographs are just one of my all time favorite things. It doesn't necessarily have to be photos of my family or their old homesteads. I enjoy old pictures of the community I live in, of historic buildings that may not be standing anymore and of people that I never met and whose blood does not run through my veins. However, recently we received a few photographs of family that I can claim as my own. One such photo is of my great great grandparents and my great grandmother with my great grand uncles. There is another photo that is of my great grand aunt and uncle, one of which we are a little unsure of. Is it my great grand uncle that only lived a few years or is it my great grandfather in the picture? We know one is my great grand aunt. There is yet another photo that I say must be of my great great and great great great grandparents but it might not be. There is a possibility that it is my first cousin's once removed family. Ugh it's all so confusing. I think that it is my great great and great great greats because the man has the same nose and facial structure as my great great grandfather. However, there isn't a real clear idea of when the "potential grandparents" picture was taken. Was it taken before or after the picture of my great great grandparents with their children? Yet again, there is another picture. However this one isn't as questionable as the other one. The question I have for this picture is "How old was I in this picture?" Of course before that question I was asking "Is this really me?" I won't be sharing any of the pictures I mentioned. Partially out of being lazy, and partially because I am not certain I could get a decent picture of said picture. I referenced this chart to help me figure out how to relate my grandfather's first cousins to who they were to me. As well as my great grand uncle.
