Definitely the sepia print--and I agree the hat needs some squashing, plus his suit needs a bit of serious rumpling. He is portrayed by AR as someone who loses track of time & all else when presented with a bit of science to pursue. Surely he wouldn't look so much as if he had just stepped out of a Vogue magazine of the time!

I think he is younger than CF, but not in his twenties. I have always assumed Mrs. Blackett to be the older of the two, and somewhere in her 40's--still young enough to laugh at her 'scalawags' questionable behaviour. CF I see as about 40 or so. A bit portly from age, but still pretty much a boy at heart. Timothy might be mid-thirties? Without children of his own, and being rather shy, he'd have had no practice in directing them, especially teenagers (!), but he had the sensible attitude of someone with a reasonable amount of life experience.
