It looks like the three figures are modelled on separate photographs which appear in George C. Underwood's History of the Twenty-sixth Regiment of the North Carolina Troops in the Great War 1861-'65 from vol. 2 of Walter Clark's Histories of the Several Regiments ... of North Carolina in the Great war 1861-'65 ... Pubished by the State of North Carolina in 1901.
