I'm not sure about the possible Franco Lori. Here he is from another angle. Lori had a very flat nose and this guy's nose seems too big in my opinion.

Yeah, if that's the same man, then I'd say it isn't Lori.

The older actor playing the scientist in 10, 74 and 76 is very familiar, I'm pretty sure he is a quite well known actor who has had credited roles in peplums, but I can't remember where I know him from...

75 on the right could be Chiappafreddo...

Ruffini and the Ukmar brother is listed by Johan, yet. And that gaunt guy appearing in 59+60 guy seems familiar too (I mean the handsome Fasciano brother:_)))

Maybe Gaetano Scala as the guard standing at the back?

Is that Mr. Egg with a heavy wig in 39/44/45? (It's another Emimmo Salvi outer, in whose films he appeared regularely til 64)

Hmmm, yes, it could well be, though hard to be absolutely sure under the wig and make-up. He was the right height to play one of those not-quite-a-dwarfs and he did appear in several films with some of the same group of actors (Mitchell/Cortez/Gargano/Meniconi), so it seems quite probable and as you say there's a Salvi connection as screenwriter, though he wasn't the director here..

Probably worth putting as an uncertain ID anyway
