the pic would seem to face southwest & the tripoint would seem to
fall on the low point of the saddle just above & to the right of the
center of the pic for the ridge line appears more or less the same as
the visible trail & the nuon would in that case fall off to the left
from that saddle

do you see this too or is it just my wishful thinking"

I think it's wishful thinking. According to Grant, when looking in
this direction and standing on the spot where you think the
photographer is standing, after Mt. Nuon a Mt. Gbaam should follow,
which is higher. The mountain in the background looks like the last
one in the chain.

But it's very difficult to tell.

And about a marker on the tripoint: maybe there is one, but if it
started out as a marker on the Franco-Liberian border, I wouldn't be
absolutely sure that there is a marker. I read somewhere that the
Franco-Liberian boundary treaty dates back to 1911, and I wouldn't
know whether this boundary was just described along natural lines in
the landscape, or that it was marked, too.

But maybe a marker was put up there after the independence of Guinea
and the Ivory Coast.
