Anyone know anything about this particular Okudagram? (startrek.website)

EDIT: I forgot to add a screenshot. Here it is.

While re-watching DS9 S1:E19 "Duet", I noticed this okudagram around 6:21 and got a bit curious.

Some of these images just look like aliens they would have already had pictures of. However, two stand out as potential easter eggs - the picture on the middle left looks unmistakably like Spock, and the human on the bottom left looks like they could be a production worker or a favorite musical artist.

However, Memory Alpha and a simple Google Search don't seem to turn up anything. I'm intrigued to know what history, if any, is behind this graphic.

I found a small amount of info on Memory Alpha, but surely there's more out there somewhere:

Most of the wanted posters seen on Deep Space Nine were make-up continuity photos provided by the make-up department from actors who previously appeared in a Star Trek episode such as Jeffrey Hayenga, Frank Collison, and Norman Large.

So instead of watching the show and enjoying the ride, you're freeze-framing and zooming into on-screen screens?

I like you.

Sadly, I have no answers, though.

The bottom left is definitely ferengi.

An update: According to S2 E10 Sanctuary, the guy below the Ferengi (not shown in this screenshot) is stated to be Plix Tixiplik, who had previously shown up in TNG, further affirming them being previous Trek actors.
