Thought I could clarify who THIS "Billy the Kid" is,

by reading the 3 references to BTK in Fulbright's & Stehno's THE VANISHED HERD, The History of the Cherokee Strip Cowpunchers' Association & the Cattlemen & Drovers of Early-day Oklahoma.
Unfortunately those references are in the entries about Henry Brown, who WAS a member of the "Billy the Kid Gang."
So, we still don't know who identified that photo as "Billy the Kid," however, we DO know who Billy Fox is! See pp. 123-top of 127 of the above-mentioned book, and pp. 25-26 of my own ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BUFFALO HUNTERS & SKINNERS, Vol II.
I didn't say it was him. Well, it says "Lincoln County Cattle Rustlers". I looked at that photo, and to me his pal looks just like Curly Bill in the Tombstone movie! What a coincidence.
