I think you could make a decent portrait from just the photo on the left. You might want to open his eyes a bit (by raising the upper lids.) I wouldn't try to incorporate any material from the second photo however. He changed too much and the exposure and lighting is much worse.
Once you settle on just ONE photo for a portrait reference then you can then begin to address the hundreds of issues with making all the shapes and lighting exact for a precise likeness.
