I think a better way of saying it is that the self you were back then looks like the self you are now.

Distinctive features do help, but sometimes changes in facial shape and expression can overwhelm them completely.

True enough. I don't feel radically different than that six-year-old on the inside, even though I'm a lot more troubled now than I was then.
