Can anyone confirm that's First Officer William Murdoch on the bow overseeing the casting off?

I think it would be very hard to know for sure but more than likely you are correct thinking it’s Murdoch

Hi Chris... Thank you for the first comment here. Maybe by a process of elimination we may arrive at the correct identity...

This is true are there any surviving reports or records of the crews movements during castoff?

This individual certainly has the posture of Murdoch. See 'A comparison between the Adriatic photograph and Murdoch on the Titanic.' Link: https://www.williammurdoch.net/articles_16_Murdoch_photographs.html
