These do not look authentic to me, and I'm thinking that they are Aspinalls.

They don't appear to be done by Neil Aspinall...they're not in his style...this wasn't done by Mal Evans...who signed when Neil didn't...which wasn't often...probably just someone trying to copy Beatle signatures onto a photo...

The "o"s in George and John's signatures, the "M" in Paul's signature, the backwards "o" in Ringo and the "Lennon" all look like Aspinall's work to me.

I think those are earlier signatures. Compare the John signature on the photo to this one:

Also, again, the backwards "o" in "Ringo" is usually a good indication.

I think they are secretarial, but not by the usual hands!
