Lucius Verus?

Yesterday I visited the National Archaeological Museum in Naples. This is labelled as Unknon, circa 160 AD. Could it be Lucius Verus? Or a young Marcus Aurelius?

For comparison, here is a statue with the head of Lucius Verus:

 

[Laurentius]

They seem different to me, Aurelius is much closer though.

It immediately reminded me of Marcus Aurelius but I don't know if it's a real resemblance or just the beard and hair style, lol.

Marcus Aurelius:

Not sure what to think. I agree with Laurentius that the resemblance, such as it may be, is greater here than in Lucius Verus. well, I think... I'm confusing myself staring at the pictures.
