 Since the name of the above photo includes "fool on the hill", isn't this a picture of Faul? Or are you saying the eyes are Paul's somehow? It just seems like a Faul/Faul comparison, or am I missing something...  |

"The Fool On The Hill" was James Paul McCartney.
In Magical Mystery Tour Film during that song sequence there are close-up of eyes.
Those ones are James Paul's.
The frame quality is different from the others: it is "older".
Probably those sequences were taken from never published ones of "Help".
There James Paul's eyes are in sunlight.
The second one picture is taken from Faul's "Spies Like Us" 45 rpm front cover.
The result of the comparison is just THE SAME of the others.
This comparison is good as "iris patterns" (very different) analysis.

Excellent comparison photos SK. But about Paul's eye color. You rphoto shows Paul with hazel/green eyes. Paul had brown eyes. If Paul didn't have brown eyes, why would they have taken the trouble to paint in brown coloring on Faul's eyes? We know Faul's eyes aren't brown.
So if Paul's eyes were brown (and they were), what's up with the hazel-eyed photo?

Question -- How can all the above loose ends and objective data be unified?
Answer -- At minimum, there were three Paul’s.

ROLL UP FOR THE MYSTERY TOUR!
QUOTES FROM THE FILM
THE ALBUM
Brian Epstein had just died, and the Beatles had been taking part in the Maharishi's meditating sessions...it was a strange time for all of them. Some say that the film Magical Mystery Tour is the result of it all. While Paul McCartney was off in Denver, Colorado to celebrate Jane Asher's birthday, he had a whim...to gather a group of friends, midgets, bizarre actors and freaks and travel the countryside in a bus coach...just to see what happened, and...film it!
Since Epstein had died, Paul had pretty much tried to fill the shoes, telling the boys when they would make records and so forth. It was flying home on Tuesday April 11, 1967 that Paul had thought up the lyrics to the title song of his proposed film, Magical Mystery Tour. He was inspired by American Novelist Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, who toured the United States in a psychedelically painted bus, served drinks laced with LSD and filmed whatever happend. On a borrowed napkin, he sketched out the film's content; ready to present it to his bandmates when he arrived in London.
Supervised by Paul, on September 11 at 10:45 am The Beatles and their 39 member entourage began their 5 day tour, (although the bus was late because the logo had to be painted at the last minute.) starting from Central London and heading for Cornwall, filming...without a script and without knowing where exactly they were going, or what might happen. As luck would have it, nothing did.
They filmed in several towns and villages. It was at Paul Raymond's Revuebar in London, a month later, that they filmed the Jan Carson strip scene, with Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band's "Death Cab For Cutie". "Your Mother Should Know " was filmed in a former US Army Airforce base in an aircraft hanger that was magically transformed into a glittering ballroom, in which The Beatles Danced through. Policemen, Eggmen in bathing caps and John filmed "I Am The Walrus" near the 32 concrete anti-blast walls that protected aircrafts in World War II. Other locations they filmed at were Widcome on Dartmoor, Taunton, Bodmin, Newquay, Watergate Bay and Porth.
Perhaps the most endearing scene, "The Fool on the Hill" sequence also has a story to it. Filmed in Nice, France, it apparently started off as a fiasco, when Paul upon arriving in Nice, realized he hadn't had his passport. Oops! Fear not...call the lads at home and they'll rush it to him airfreight in a couple of hours. After finally receiving his documents...oops! No money was sent with them!!! Ring, ring...
Lennon and Harrison directed a scene with "Happy Nat the Rubber Man" around a hotel pool. Scrapped on the cutting room floor was 90% of the film's 10 hours worth of shots, including a scene of Traffic (Steve Winwood) singing "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".
Slated for an hour long TV special, it was thought of by most as "the most expensive home movie." Shown on Boxing Day, 1967, 8:35 pm, it was seen in 3,930,000 homes. "Witless", "Colossal Conceit", "Rubbish", were some of the comments. Unfortunately, the film was shown in black and white...so even those with color TV's weren't able to experience the splendor that is Magical Mystery Tour. Let's face it...I couldn't imagine seeing "Flying" in black and White, there is just no point. Even though, later, the film was rerun in color, it was too late. The damage had already been done by the critics. Paul immediately came to it's defense, but to no avail. Critics called the film a disaster. But, today it is shown in college classes, film classes as well as studied furvously by Beatles Fans. I, for one, am a fan of it.
