Republic of Ireland Michael Collins? Is the man to the right in this 1915 or 1916 Liverpool photo Michael Collins or another Irish leader?

Family lore says the man is Collins but it does not look 100% like other photos I have seen.

My grandfather, the man in the center, left Liverpool for the US after the Easter Rising in May 1916. I haven't heard that Collins came to the US but it is possible the photo was taken in the Buffalo area between 1916-1922.

Thanks

It's not Michael Collins, but the eyes remind me of Harry Boland the senior IRA emissary sent to the USA in June 1919.

He was an elected member of Dail Eireann , a clever politician and close friend of IRA Director of Intelligence Michael Collins.
