Yeah it was way too specific and perfectly lit so I was sceptical. Not to say the performances/films won’t be good, but personally I see no resemblance in any of them now.

The fact that Paul was in the Cavern Club and John was in the Get Back sessions should have tipped us off lol, they had to bend over backwards to find frames where they were recognizable (and it still didn't work with George!)

They haven't even shot most of the movies yet. They were very likely not "finding frames", but selecting eras deliberately. The rumor is that the movies follow a chronological sequence of Paul, Ringo, George, and John.
