1. That kid in the middle looks like an Artful Dodger.

From the later movie.

Phil looks much older than the others.

Apparently he was 13 there...

4. Great sequence.

The way that massive collection of dancers evaporates into the street crowds at the end is a real jaw-dropper. Carol Reed and his staff were truly brilliant.

I never knew Phil Collins' early history included acting. Would have loved to see him as the Dodger.

6. I was looking for Phil Collins in the role

And guess what I found? Davy Jones as The Artful Dodger!

1963–1970: Early acting roles and Flaming Youth

Collins began professional acting lessons at 14 at the Barbara Speake Stage School, a fee-paying but non-selective independent school in East Acton whose talent agency had been established by his mother.[32][33] His first major role arrived in 1964 as the Artful Dodger in two West End runs of the musical Oliver![34] His mother recalled that his voice broke and gave way during a performance and he had to speak his lines for the rest of the show.[22] Collins was an extra in the Beatles' film A Hard Day's Night (1964) among the screaming teenagers during the television concert sequence.

7. I'd heard of Davy Jones' "Oliver" background.

Don't remember where I heard of it; I was never much of a Monkees fan.
