Would that be Mouse Man at the end of the pool table in Sabata? He could be brothers with Antonio Marcolini on the left!vlcsnap-2019-08-11-16h00m09s958.jpg
Maybe I remember incorrectly and I don't have the film at hand to check right now, but doesn't he actually get a close-up and even some brief dialogue in this film...?
He wins at cards thanks to Van Cleef, but it's in long shot from the other end of the table

Ok, I managed to find the film. This is still our mouse man, isn't it?

Yes, I must have missed that shot somehow, well remembered

I thought that was him, but I don't know him too well. Also interesting to note that he seems to have hurt his left eye - it's almost completely red.

Speaking of Sabata, Nick, could this be Giulio Mauroni?

I wouldn't say definitely yes, but looks like it could be - maybe put it as an uncertain

editing finished, now the fun job of trying to identify several hundred actors in Cleopatra begins!

Starting with this one, looks like Colangelo slightly out of focus in the centre at the back, and John Karlsen (who I thought we might have a topic for, but can't see one) in the "eye" hat. The actor on the right looks familiar too but can't think who he is off the top of my head.

It doesn't help that quite a lot of the extras seem to be English actors, presumably previously contracted when the film originally began shooting in the UK, it was probably cheaper to fly them in than pay them off!

and the senators - and behind them I suppose noblemen! Could the one at the back on the right with the beard maybe be Gorgon's victim?

I don't recognise any of the others, does anyone else?

could the tallest one in the back row here maybe be Ettore Arena?

and again does anyone recognise anyone else?

The filming of Cleopatra lasted for quite a while, and from what I've understood, a lot of the extras worked on the film for some considerable time and many were used in different roles in different scenes. Of course, many are probably not visible (also because a considerable portion of the footage shot ended up being cut).

Anyway, I agree it should be Colangelo in the first pic. Standing in front of him is probably Betsy Bell in a dark wig. At least it resembles her and I know she's supposed to have appeared in the film.

Also agree about Gorgon's victim in the second pic. There's also Aldo Bonamano as the senator on the left.

In the third picture I don't recognize anyone. I don't think it's Ettore Arena.
