I'm positive that's Molluck, which would place this photo as before the ending of NnT (and presumably before NnT as a whole, unless Molluck went out for a quick visit while Abe was doing his trials).
In AE, Molluck was in charge of Soulstorm Brewery and the Mining Co prior to his disappearance (he didn't die at the end of AO). So this could well have been Molluck on a visit to his mining operation, and looking on while Mudokons were being put to work.
So perhaps Ed knows the connection between Molluck and Rupturefarms, and therefore Abe? It would explain why he was so keen to get the word to Abe about what's going on.
Orrr it's just a coincidental resemblance and this Gluk ain't Molluck at all.
