I'm not sure who the guy is on the far left, but the guy in the middle is Ferry Porsche and the guy on the right is his dad, Ferdinand Porsche. They are standing next to the First production Porsche - 356/001.

based only on their significance in early 'porsche' history, i'm guessing that the guy on the far left is either karl rabe or anton piech.
