Unidentified actors

Unidentified credited actors

Paquito Alcoceba - No other known credits.
Ángel Córdoba - Identified, but not matched.
Manuel de la Mata - No other known credits.
Luis Domínguez Luna - Identified, but not matched.
Pedro Maiquez - No other known credits.
Francisco Mallens - 2 credits on IMDb, none with roles.
Francisco Melgares - He has 26 credits on IMDb spread over a 40-year period, however those listed with roles come mainly from the 80's and 90's and I wasn't able to satisfactorily identify him from the few 50's roles listed.
Manuel Rojas - He has 10 credits on IMDb, however this seems to be a combination of 2 actors, the one based in Spain and another based in the US or Mexico. Unfortunately the only ones listed with roles seem to belong to the American actor.

Uncredited actors listed as appearing by other sources, but not identified

Salín Arévalo - IMDb. 2 credits on IMDb, none with roles.
Manuel García Pérez - IMDb. No other known acting credits, one as property master.
Antonio Jiménez Escribano - IMDb. Not found
Manuel Lacaci - IMDb. No other known credits.
Jaime Mayuca - IMDb. 3 credits on IMDb, none with roles.
Antonio Ortuño 'El Extremeño' - IMDb. 3 credits on IMDb, none with roles.
Torres de Quevedo - IMDb. I would assume this is someone's failed attempt to write the name of uncredited Pedro Rodríguez de Quevedo. Under the Torres name he has no other known credits.
Francisco René
José Santamaría
Trasspas - IMDb. No other known credits.
Tina Valdés - IMDb. No other known credits.

Added, thank you.

Hopefully there should be at least a few more who can be identified, but I'll search for them tomorrow.

This is José Morales in La hija de Juan Simón and Los ángeles del volante, both released the same year

I think we can safely say that it's him playing the bank employee seen in 15-19

Pilar Caballero has 5 credits listed on IMDb, 2 with roles. I have her identified in the 2 roles, however I am really struggling to see them as being the same person. On the left we have her in Culpables (1960) which should be a safe ID as there are only 3 credited actresses with speaking parts and the other 2 are known. On the right we have her in Tierra brutal (1961), which should be a certain ID as she is credited with role. Maybe they are the same with totally different make-up and I just can't see it?

Based solely on the images on the left this could maybe be her as the actress in images 107, 112 and 117. Any opinions welcomed.
