Believe me, spent a good deal of time trying various search parameters to find a solution, thanks for offering one up; unfortunately in this set there aren't any alpha channels (checked in Photoshop and Gimp to be sure) and there are two officers that do show up, when I click left/right on either of them they will circle through the all the different portraits. Here's how the broken ones look:
And the working ones:
After finding the only semi-relevant thread from my searches about a missing repair officer I tried moving the officers into different compartments, it seemed for that particular problem that had an effect, in this case no change.
Next tried swapping one of the two working pictures numbers - i.e. changed the working one (#34) to a different one (#11) but to my surprise after loading (prior to doing so did a rollback, unloaded the mod in jgsme, made the file changes to the mod directly, re-added the mod, then started the game via shc) the same portrait came up! Which values does SHC grab for the portraits in order to display and change them? If changed manually outside of SHC and then they still load incorrectly it would appear that the missing portraits are a hidden feature in the game; with the only way then to possibly change them is to promote someone (believe that always gives the first portrait) or dismiss an officer go shopping in the barracks and hope he shows up properly.

You can still demote within SH3-defined rank groupings though (officers, POs and men).

Understandable. Guess I'll need to come out with a simple mod that puts in a big red button that reads "Demote to E-1", some particularly bad crewmen don't deserve dismissal and the honor of a Captain's Mast at sea
