Royale Studios 17 - Two Mysteries Solved - Part 5

Royale Studios - 'Unapproved' series 1

Above is another picture from the Unapproved School series showing the sailor more clearly.

Is this the same model* as in 'FJSS' below?

I must admit I am not sure, but it's a tantalising thought!
.
The next picture, also from Unapproved School shows the sailor with his cap off.
This is clearly a different man, John Dawes*, another Royale favourite and showing a splendid physique, although Fred Collins' thighs might edge him for sheer bulk.

Royale Studios - 'Unapproved' Series 2

Unapproved School was published as two sets and the images show here come from the two different halves. It's conceivable that the models changed between sets, but probably not. 
 
Why does it matter? It's only because the opening scenes of Unapproved School are somewhat incoherent with dressing and undressing and punishments for no clear reason before the escape sequence gets under way (see my previous article on 'Unapproved' for more). 
If the FJSS series is a precursor then it might untangle the 'storyette' a little.
.
In my next posts I'll look at the FJSS set and reproduce it with some full size versions of the images.
