You may want to peruse the following books, as they may contain an
image of Maurice Roy Ridley:

Your intuition is correct, there is a photo of him in the first book
you listed. Alas, it's the same one! http://tinyurl.com/cdqpd (url

I'm a Dorothy L. Sayers buff, and I've read many books about DLS which
discussed Ridley as the model upon whom Lord Peter Wimsey's appearance
was based. I don't recall ever having seen an image of Ridley other
than the one that Wikipedia uses. Maybe he was camera-shy!
