    If the study is to be believed, I think both of your pics have muttonchops.  Your first pic is "friendly muttonchops" with the muttonchops continuously wrapping to the mustache, but with the chin shaven.  This is the style of Ambrose Burnside himself.  yes​   Your second pic looks like just plain muttonchops without extra wrapping.  If I interpret it correctly, the muttonchops refer to hair along the jawline that is trimmed thinly at the top along the cheek and allowed to be fuller at the bottom along the jaw.  The chops can be worn with or without a mustache.  Then again, the scientific journal cited in the article is PNIS (really), a name which doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

    I call those mutton chops too but they are rare in the US nowadays. I have seen them in person only once or twice. 

    General Burnside, there is an island just down the road from here named General Burnside Park and a city named after him too. It is a big industry in US to turn these old wars and war sites into tourism with statues and replicas of uniforms and duty station reenactments. I guess the ghosts of the past figure it beats actually being there the 1st time. It's done in Europe and everywhere too, I've visited Carcasonne, the former royal palace in Seoul, and the Tower of London and I've learned though just to look at the prettiness and ignore the stories behind all of them!surprise

    Muttonchops appear to be anti-goatee

    I learned a new word the other day... rouflaquette. Never heard that term before but it refers to the big old muttonchop sideburn popular in civil war era and 60s and 70s. I picked up the sideburn product elsewhere called that
