Specs Powell?

I have a downloaded CD of sessions recorded from a radio Swing session, among the listed players on the cover image is one Specs Powell, I suspect this is probably Mel Powell, other performers include Roy Eldridge, Flip Phillips, Ralph Burns, Buddy Rich and Charlie Ventura along with Mel Tormé who plays drums on one track - sounds like he's almost continuously using cymbals.

Any ideas confirming Specs = Mel?
