I LOOKED THROUGH FAMOUS PERSONS DEATHS IN 1984 AND STILL CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PERSON ON THE FLASHER BUTTON. AN OLDER GENTLEMAN WITH BLACK HORNED RIMMED GLASSES. THE SECOND FLASHER SHOWS "RIP 1984" INSIDE A MUSHROOM CLOUD.

Found the answer here. It is satirical and shows Jesse Helms:

Presumably "RIP 1984" means nuclear war would result from his political stance.

I realise it might not be easy, but can you try to get separate photos of the two different views? It's visually confusing having them superimposed like that.

I’ll try but it is difficult.

Probably from the 1984 campaign. Helms just barely beat Jim Hunt in that election, and I think it was the narrowest margin by which Helms ("Senator No") ever won an election.
