I believe we've already discussed this one.

We have indeed discussed this photo.  However, this scan now being provided shows the whole photograph.  Something that I'm seeing now with the whole piece is that this looks to be a reproduction photograph.  It's not an original studio issued still as there would be production numbers in the negative which are not present here.  Also, that larger border on the bottom is not typical of original production stills. 

This could have been produced for personal appearances of the Stooges and not issued by the Columbia studio.

Many thanks for the extra information, it is much appreciated
