Tamby bin Hj Ahmad and Ustaz Hj Abdul Latiff

I have with me a collection of 6 small B/W photos dated 17.12.48, which possibly belonged to my father (Bapak) and his father (Walid). The photos were taken in Banda Hilir in Melaka on Friday, 17 December 1948, 3 years after WWII ended. They were probably taken before or after solat Jumaat (Friday prayer). The B/W photos are printed on white photographic paper imprinted 'Crown Copyright Reserved'. The handwriting does not resemble that of my father Abdul Rashid bin Mohd Yusope (Bapak). However, the handwriting could be that of my paternal grandfather Mohd Yusope bin Hj Mohd Sharif (Walid).  There are altogether 3 people in the photos, minus the photographer. The names handwritten in black ink and pencil on the back of some photos are Tamby b. H. Ahmad and Ostaz H. Abd. Latiff. The other person(s) could be my father and his father; it could be my young father because of his Indian look when he was a teenager (aged 17) in these photos. The photographer could be his father (Walid) as he was known to have photographed many things and events in Melaka and Kuala Lumpur between 1929, 1937 (when he worked in KL) and 1953 (when he died in Melaka).

The date given in these photos is 17 December 1948. There is a another family photo with relatives taken at Pulau Besar in the same year, probably an earlier photo. 

I do not know the people whose names are mentioned in this post except my father and his father.

Please let me know if you recognise any of the people in these photos or if you are related to any of the men/boys.

Compare the photos of "Latiff" in the above photos and the one below. Are they the same person?

The persons in this photo were labeled by Bapak (he would be 17 in 1948).
Bapak is not in this photo. He probably took this photo.
Here, #8 is 'Latif, sekampung'. Is he Ustaz Hj Abdul Latiff?
Tamby bin Hj Ahmad is not in this photo.
#7 is 'Abu Bakar, dua pupu, anak Ami Ahmad (Hj Ahmad/Mohd, menantu Hj Noordin)'. Abu Bakar married the daughter of Hj Noordin, which one?
