Thanks for these examples, JKP. That top right one defitinitely bears many resemblances to the features we see in 70r2.
I also thought of sideburns or rather of sidelocks (such as payot) for the marks you describe as tufts. Unfortunately I haven't had time to look for illustrations of them for the relevant period. I'll try to do that this weekend.
I think its interesting that this figure is so androgynous, and that we are constantly switching between male and female attributes or styles to try to explain the various details.
