It certainly makes me wonder if that's why he couldn't smell things worth a darn! lol What you're seeing aren't the nostrils or any "nose holes" but what you're seeing are the holes at the roof of the mouth that lead into the nasal cavity, called the palatine fissure. I personally don't know the function of the palatine fissure or what it being smaller would have meant for Gunner though. It would be a very interesting question to ask an anatomy specialist! Thank you for pointing it out, I haven't been looking at the similarities/differences very much and didn't notice that yet.
