When I got French nationality, I spent 6 months growing an impressive old-style moustache just for the ID photo. it's the little things that count.

If one goes with a fake (but not obviously fake) moustache, would they question?

What is your definition of fake - can be pulled off? Not your own hair?

Lots of options here.

It doesn't really matter. If you are not recognizable, it's not valid. That is the whole point of a photo-ID the photo has to be a good likeness with you. Glad the GP met friendly people that let him get away with it but don't count on it working for ever :-)
