I think the third picture here is of Jed Parker getting one on the chin rather than Bob Brewer. Jed was my dad and you can see by the boxing boots it is he and not Bob. We have a copy of this photo and a couple of others but not one of my dad receiving his trophy, thank you for posting. I have the trophy at home along with his other trophies and medals. Thanks again for making these available.
