Proust and his schoolmates

At the Bibliothèque nationale de France, a wonderful photograph from the Lycée Condorcet. Can you spot Proust?

Would that be Proust in the bottom row on the far left?

Odette

I'd say so. (It's the eyes.)

You don't think it's the far left guy in the 2nd row (2nd row from top/3rd row from bottom)?

Compare this Paul Nadar photo, from Mari Mann's Proust blog. Look at the eyes and ears. Same collar and double-breasted jacket too. That must be MP, bottom left.
