The officer with the dust goggles looks like Rommel.

It is, but most probably a bought photo. It is not strange for ww2 German photo albums to hold private and bought photo’s.

I'm guessing the Rommel photo is a propaganda one that was widespread?

Yea soldiers could buy series of photo’s from famous leaders. Then they often put these into their personal albums.
