Can anyone identify these three Confederate Colonels from North Carolina?

@frontierchris I just love trying to id photos so Ill give these a try.

Could the guy on the left be W W Stringfield? Not sure if Stringfield was ever promoted to Colonel. He was Lt Col of the 69th NC.

EDIT: Just found this same photo (Left) positively id'd as Col John Ashford of the 38th NC here http://www.beyondthecrater.com/resources/units/conf-u/conf-inf/nc-inf/38th-north-carolina-infantry/

Best guess for the guy at middle is Col Washington Hardy of the 60th NC but he looks a bit old to be Hardy.

Best guess for the guy on the right is Rufus Barringer, later General Rufus Barringer, or Col Risden Tyler Bennett, 14th NC.

My advice is to be patient, and hopefully some of the expert identifiers @AndyHall @Frederick14Va @Mike Serpa and some of the others will come along and help out

Been looking on and off @frontierchris Will let you know if I find any possibilities. Are you sure he's Confederate? Could the image have been taken in Mobile of a Union officer after Mobile fell?

A possible candidate...

Josiah Robins... Colonel of 3rd Alabama Cavalry, (served as Captain, Major, Lt.Col, then Colonel)
3rd Ala. Cav had ties to Mobile, mustered there in Oct 1861, and several of its companies were from the area.
Here is a post war image of Josiah, that has a number of feature similarities to the above image also of note is the shape and contour of the ears.. Just an observation....
