"Three British bit players as parishioners in this photo. The guy with the beard and big ears wearing a skinny tie is Fred Wood (a.k.a. Burn the Witch Fred). The pretty brunette on the right in the front row with shoulder length hair wearing a dress is Pauline Chamberlain. The old guy in a back row wearing glasses along with a black tie and a black suit is Juba Kennerley."
More research lead me to Pauline might still be alive. Wood died in 2003. Kennerley was born in 1898 so who knows when he died.
Also, found this link to an online Final Cut:

Not high res but nice to have it online.

new tidbits
Robin Hardy director of The Wicker Man interview - Without Your Head
Lots of good info here. A standout about the storyboards:
Robin has sold some of the illustrations at auction and given some to authors of books (Brown? Earnshaw?) so the likelihood of there ever being a complete collection looks unlikely. He thinks some get sold on eBay but I've never seen any.Also, independent of that:
I discovered some showings of the movie in 1974 in the Atlanta area from searching for newspapers, in this case, The Atlanta Constitution. It had Warner Brothers pic ads for these dates: 5/14, 5/15 and one for 5/21 (Smyrna, GA). I can see that they use Warner Brothers ads but the 5/14 and 5/15 ads are different from the 5/21 ad which is thinner and only has the Wicker Man whereas the other two have the standard WB ad with Willow and LS below TWM.
