JAHERIAS.BMP is the old, while NJAHERIS.BMP is the new, and so on. For the exact names, you can download the Portrait Manager (the link to it is in the Links appendix on my site), which will give you the precise names of every portrait used in the game (besides making it easier to shuffle your portrait files from 1 directory into another, etc).

Thanks for the tip about the names [img]smile.gif[/img]
I tried dl'ing the portrait manager, but it did not find the in game portrait files, only the custom portraits that I have collected. None of the BG2 directories seem to have the (NPC).bmp files in them (I found RoyoL.bmp in the override directory--part of a mod?)
What solved it for me was opening up SK, and looking at the portrait list available for changing portraits there, which has the full list (I've done a full install, so where are those files hiding anyway...oh well)
In any case, problem solved, since I now have the correct names.
Thanks, and great job on the BG guide too!
