I did see a better one identified as him but it looked like a uniform from maybe 1931. I couldn't find anything indicating that he was with them that late.
Not great but as usual...palette.fm, et al.

Thank you very much for your offer to spend more time on this image but I am more than happy with the outcome. At best any additional effort would only result in marginal improvements I suspect.
1924 was the inaugural year for the appearance of a white elephant on the uniform. For 1921-23 the elephant was blue in rampant mode. 1920 the elephant was darker and standing. However, in 1919 the uniform is similar to that of 1931 and could well be the image you discovered.
I do have 4 alternate images for Hasty and appreciate that you respected the authenticity of their uniform which indicates prior to 1924.
Find attached an image of Eppie Barnes with Pirates from 1924, sadly it's the best I could find.
