The identities of the "phantoms born from FOX" aren't actually stated; it could easily refer to Big Boss and Zero.

That is one grainy photo, but that is about as much nose as Skull Face has left. Doing a quick date check: Given that Skull Face was a child (let's assume somewhere between the ages of 5 to 15) at some point between 1940 and 1945, Skull Face would have been between 24 and 39 in this photo if it were taken circa 1964, and between 35 and 50 in 1974. In other words, Skull Face is probably never so old or so young at any point between 1964 and 1975 that you'd be able to tell his age from his body or body language (and his facial scarring already makes identifying his age by face impossible), and he wouldn't have been too young in 1964 to resemble the person in the photo. In conclusion, Skull Face would have looked basically the same in 1964 as he does in 1975, so going by age and physical resemblance alone, it is plausible that this is him in the photo.

I have no idea what implications that would have.
