"Dead Weight" question

I've brought this up before, but at 55:00 when the woman sees Colonel Dutton's body in the water, you see the man she's with for just a second or two, and to me he looks like Fred Draper. He's even wearing a yachtsman's cap, which makes him look even more like Draper as the cab driver in "Lady In Waiting" (though that might be helping me to think that's who it is when it isn't?). Does anyone else see a resemblance? It isn't a big deal, but that would make this episode his first one, even if it's only for a few seconds.

Doesn't look like Draper to me, but at a quick glance he might seem similar.

Re: "Dead Weight" question

I don't know if it's a great resemblance, but it always makes me wonder.

The same with that red-haired woman you see for a few seconds in "Murder By The Book." She makes me wonder if Marcia Wallace really does appear for a few seconds, just as the credits say.
