I'm reasonably confident that the person on JB's left is Bruce McLaren

Wouldn't be Bruce McLaren in 1957. He was studying hard at Auckland University during 1957.

Agreed. And furthermore looks a bit too old for a 19-year-old

If someone however told me Ronnie Moore was in the Cooper pits at Le Mans that year I'd believe them...
