Looks like it. 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 f5 4.Nc3 fxe4 5.Nxe4 d5 gets you to the position on the board.

The chap sitting on Dinah's left looks familiar - anyone remember who he is?

At a pinch frequent tournament player Raymond Gamble in his younger days.

Yes Kevin I agree its Raymond Gamble. I saw him at Torquay 2 years ago and he was really fail with loss of weight i don't know if he's still with us but a true gentleman. We played at least 12 games or more which were all draws !!!
