No; we can rule out that Heinrich is in the wedding photographs, as he was already dead by then:
Erich Nürge and Anni Schmidt announced their engagement on 9 September 1944 (that's the first card in post # 1) and got married on 20 January 1945 (the second card in post # 1).
According to Nick's data, Heinrich Nürge died in a Soviet POW camp [KGL = Kriegsgefangenenlager] on 18 October 1944.
(On a side note, if his rank was Unteroffizier, he was with the Heer or Luftwaffe, whereas the soldiers in the wedding photos are members of the Waffen-SS. Still, like I said, he could not possibly be in these photographs anyway.)

Sorry for being a dummy chaps, I took the engagement date as that of the wedding without even bothering to translate the card....Doh!
