Which one is the 'real' barman?

I won’t have internet over the next few days so I’m posting a couple of extra discussions. I’m sure I won’t fool any of you but when we went into the Nungarin Hotel after visiting the market stalls, we were taken by the barman with the long white beard. I thought he looked quite like the wax barman which we’d seen in Westonia. What do you think?

That would sort the sheep from the goats, wouldn't it?

The top one surely has more hair, the bottom ones reminds me JJ.

We saw a T-shirt to Bogun Bingo which said Make My Dinner which I thought was funny. The two barmen own the pub so I guess they don't feel the need to dress up.

it's a little hard to tell because the other one isn't holding the bottle at all.

It's a bit uncanny that I wrote about one then we came across the second one.

It's really well done. All the wax models were really good. I have a few to go yet.

He does look rather similar.
