Riz Ortolani?

He's not Italian (though he's surrounded by Italians in the photo)

He looks like David Frye with long hair.

Nope.
But mysterious conductor, still alive today, once said "In the time of Spaghetti Western, one of the ways that I could get paid, in addition to orchestrating, was ghost writing".

It's very unclear, at least to me, which Spaghetti Westerns he worked for, though he sometimes mentions collaborations with Riz Ortolani while, in other interviews, he mentions Manuel De Sica.

Bill Conti.

February 1972, Sanremo Song Contest.

He conducted orchestra for singers Lara Saint Paul (Se non fosse fra queste mie braccia lo inventerei) and Peppino Gagliardi (Come le viole). A young Pino Donaggio also sang in the same contest (Ci sono giorni).
Saint Paul's song, was written by Elide Suligoj, same author of well known E così per non morire (1972, not 1973), whose arrangement by Bill is precursor of Gonna Fly Now.

Yeah, it was the eyebrows that I recognised first. Also the De Sica connection.

I prefer not knowing what my favorite composers look like. It destroys the mystique.
