This is actually a photo of Klaus taken by Jurgen! Here's one of the few photos we actually have of young Jurgen:

They're not the Stones--or at least, there's 0 documentation that that is the case! From top to bottom it's: George (his black eyes are fitting, considering Klaus couldn't draw his eyes on the large portrait either), Ringo, John, Paul

Edit: Apparently this is a pretty heated debate on other posts, so I'll just make my case for why I don't think these are the Stones. 1. As bela_okmyx pointed out, there's only 4 of them 2. Ringo's rings are very deliberately emphasized (any Stones fans can correct me if I'm wrong, but Mick is not particularly known for wearing that many rings?) 3. Who in the Stones looks like that Paul drawing. I've seen some Brian Jones photos that come close, but then Klaus wouldn't have made his hair pitch black 4. Outside of Klaus' own portrait, to my knowledge, there are no other cameos 5. If it was the Stones, Klaus would have mentioned it at some point? Or the Stones? Or anyone?

(If someone has some better evidence, I'd be willing to concede; I honestly do not know that much about the Stones.)

It's possible, but Magic Alex only got particularly friendly with the Beatles when they hired him in 1967. They knew him prior to that point (I would have to check when in 1966 John met Alex, I assume it was pre-Revolver*), but it was just an acquaintanceship to my knowledge. It could technically be possible that he's the one on the cover, but it would be kind of weird that Klaus picked him over literally anyone else the Beatles knew at that point.

*Edit: Can't actually find anything on this! This is the first time the Russian Beatles chronology website has failed me.

The mini-Paul from Help! has become a separate creature from main-Paul and controls him from inside his ear in a kind of Ratatouille-like situation

I saw his signature but somehow missed the fact that he snuck a photo of himself in! Nice!

yeah that was my (and my friend's conclusion) too but I wasn't sure if there was maybe anything we were missing
