Snatcher characters in Policenauts?

According to
this Metal Gear Wiki, there are cameos by
Snatcher characters in
Policenauts, namely featuring Jamie, Random and Napoleon.
Something I'd read in a few places previously was that Napoleon makes an appearance at a hospital at some point, but having looked out for him throughout the game I now suspect that somebody was mixing him up with Ishida, and, not speaking Japanese, had no idea what was being discussed in the scene, which would have tipped them off to it being a different character. Similarly it's very possible that somebody mixed Jamie up with the hospital director - whose name escapes me now - who looks strikingly similar, and Random with...I don't know, Dave maybe?
So, what's the deal here then? Did I overlook these or is it simply false trivia?

You can see Randam in the prologue,
In the PC98 version you'll see Jamie instead.
Napoleon is sitting right here.
It looks a little different because the screen is taken from the PC98 version, but he's in the exact same place in the console versions.

Ohhh, so that's what they were getting at with the references to the headscarf....
Those other two were particularly tricky to spot - cheers for those. I'll look out for Random next time.

I also noticed a picture of the Snatcher characters in the Pharmacy, on the side of one of the shelves. Unfortunately, I didn't get to click on it because once I noticed it, Ishida was talking and I never got another chance to look at it. From what I could tell, it's this pic:

SHIT! that's pretty awesome....
Although I don't see how a headscarf qualifies as being Napoleon? The other characters are definatly there.
I'll ahve to post the image of the "Snatcher Calender", There is also "One Night In Neo Kobe (Remix)" in Hojo's CD collection that you can listen to.

OMG I loved that part, I was thumbing through it thinking 'so wait, is this like some colossal soundtest they put in the game?' Cause that'd totally be like something I'd expect Kojima to put in one of his games, like the hidden sound test from MGS/MG2:SS (Equip the cigs and tune the radio to 140.07, iirc)
I think I'm stuck somewhere in act 2, but I might go back later to figure out what I'm not doing right.

"A surveillance camera?" I lol'd at that reference. Was that in the original script, or was it reworded by Marc to make it a neat reference in the game?

Yeah that was awesome!
There was also a "Big Boss" reference when talking to Gates at some point, And I know that at some point in the game Ed mentioned that Jonathan looked like the "guy" (Gillian) in that Snatcher Calender, only he had a different hair color and cut.

That was me. The original was like, "A surveillance camera? They must be doing some important research here", which is totally obvious anyway.

"So they tell me you're the big boss around here now." I figured that was ambiguous enough to put in. And there's also the "snake in the grass" (another way of saying "traitor") line, which makes me think of MGS3. These two were also mine; the Snatcher stuff was all in the original.
