Thanks, Andy, that really is appreciated.
I took another stab at this using a FFT filter and Gaussian Blur in Photoshop first, and then running it through PhotoAI 4.0. I tried the new dust and scratch removal tool and it made the artifacts worse, so I went back to just Face Recovery V2 creative, and Normal Denoise.

I used Affinity Photo 2 and a Gaussian Filter, Topaz Photo AI 4.0.0. , Gigapixel 8.3.1, to get this result. If they’re any good. It took me about 5 1/2 hours.
With your permission I would like to post them to the Show Off Spot. Not that I’m a show off of course.

I’m a bit late for your request but here goes.
Take the original picture.
Repair the faces and other damage with Affinity Photo 2.
Then apply Gaussian filter with Affinity Photo 2
Then use Gigapixel Redefine on low settings.
Simple, pimple!

Just for fun 
Use Photoshop to remove the print pattern, colorize the image with Flux Kontext, and upscale it using OMGSR.

Interesting.
Can the strength of what’s done to the heads be controlled at all?
At least to me, they have a cut out and collaged on look. They don’t seem to match perfectly with the bodies re: sharpness, clarity, contrast or something. The heads have a dimensionality the accompanying bodies don’t.
Thanks for the advice.
