    I’m pretty sure this is him, taken circa 1941-42.

    Negative is titled J Mashiter and was taken in Lancashire.

    The Grenadier Guards website Book of Remembrance has J Mashiter (2618007) as belonging to the North Lancs Branch. Book of Remembrance - Grenadier Guards

    Can’t see another Mashiter in your Nominal Roll.

    The dates fit so I’m guessing that’s him, the only other possibility was Kendal but death was 1983.
