It's funny. Clara (white dress) was the one I recognized immediately.
Different people see different things.
I would suggest you compare white dress girl with the earliest photo of Sam

yes, apologies to all, I misspoke: I do agree it is Susy on the right.
But again, to me, the one on left/ foreground does not resemble anyone very
