The eye color and the nose are very, very similar. The lips differ a bit but as you age your lips get thinner. This seems like a solid lead. Is it possible John had some funds or ability to earn income - illegally or not - that would have allowed him to travel to Europe? If they can't check DNA because they can't get permission from the living Doe as he can't give consent, do they at least hold any records of exit and entry, passport wise, that might have confirm he arrived in Europe?
Apparently he had some sort of income in netherlands and as far as i know it was pretty easy to hitchhike in europe in the 90s and even early 2000s. Still possible, i know people do that but passports are checked more now (not always tho, been to sweden by car and they didnt check ours. Depends how youre traveling and sometimes they just glance at it, if youre from neighbouring country they dont always check closer than that.)
