Sorry for not keeping the pace.

As you'll see, I left a couple men unnumbered, because of the shadows making it extremely difficult to work on them. So they may later have their own appendix, if possible.
Hi Sam, Michael
Thank you for the numbers for the stairs photo. I have been looking at this photo for some time and it is good to now be able to put my thoughts down on paper, so to speak. I am looking forward to collaborating on this one.
A blank indicates I have no potential candidate.
A name but no additional comment indicates either a positive ID or a high degree of certainty about who the person is.
Again, apologies for not being able to provide side by side photos.
1 - I think I have seen elsewhere that someone has identified this guy as Walter Fredericks. It looks a good match.
2 -
3 - Having first seen this photo in a lower resolution, it looked like Jacob Gibbons. However, in a better resolution I think this could be Walter Perkis. The all black outfit matches a quartermasters uniform. This is a perfect example of the pitfalls of trying to identify individual characteristics in photos from 1912!
4 -
5 - Henry Noss.
6 - I think this could be Eustace Snow. This is a young man and his age (21) and features seem to fit.
7 - A likeness to James Crimmins, I think.
8 -
9 - This face is quite distinctive. He looks just like Albert Self.
10 - Reginald Lee.
11 - This looks very much like Sam (John) Collins.
12 -
13 - John Pearce fits the bill. This is an older gentleman. Pearce was 33 years old. Plus the prominent chin and large ears are a good fit.
14 -
15 - This guy is quite distinctive which makes me think there is no photo available for him to compare to.
16 - Whilst I have some reservations, this does look like James Johnstone. The chap on the stairs does not look 52 but neither does the fella carrying Bride down the gangway with Haines. Unusually for the time where most look older than their age, maybe Johnstone was a (very) young looking 52 years old.
17 -
18 - This looks like 19 year old Edgar Perry. This is a young man and the shape of the mouth in particular suits Edgar Perry.
19 -
20 - Walter Hurst, perhaps, the shape of his mouth and nose fits.
21 - I think this is Albert Hunt. To support this theory, it would make sense for him to be standing next to his brother in law, William Hebb.
22 - This guy is about the right age and has a similar look to William Hebb.
23 - I agree with the ID of George Taylor.
24 - I reckon that this chap has his right hand on Frank Port’s right shoulder. That would lead me to believe they are close colleagues. He is an older gentleman. There are a number of candidates in the victualling department so could be Frederick Dent Ray or Willian Faulkner. I ruled out Andrew Cunningham as he is 5’11.
25 - William White.
26 -
27 -
28 -
29 - Percy Ball.
30 - Frank Port.
31 - Isaac Maynard.
32 - Albert Fryer.
33 - This could be George Godley, the face shape fits. There is no height available for him.
34 - Robert Couper.
35 - Could this perhaps be another candidate for Frank Kaspar? I am basing that solely on the flaky assumption that he does not look English and I cannot otherwise identify him.
36 - Given that (i) I agree with you, Sam, that 34 is Robert Couper and (ii) we do not have a height for Frederick Doel, I think that this chap at 36 is a good candidate for Frederick Doel.
37 - This is our candidate for Albert Pearcey/Wilfred Foley, which we have already discussed.
38 - Leo Hyland.
39 - Joseph Wheat.
40 - This could be another crew member without a photo to identify him by.
it is in fact a Packard sightseeing bus.
