I'm unfamiliar with the slang term you used, but I'll simply say that there is a well-established genre of humorous and perhaps wishful examination of old photographs with the intention of identifying possible time travelers, for example: https://www.pocket-lint.com/photographic-proof-of-time-traveller/ . I don't endorse this theory, but it was a visual trope that inspired my comment.
