Full dates in lede. Position of photo.
There is no requirement for full birth and death dates in the lede, nor for a portrait to be placed in any particular position. My personal preference is for simple years and for the photo to be placed looking into the article. Since that it the way the article was written and designed, and with no countervailing policy or guideline to counter it, one should not change the intent of the original editor.
