The postage stamp is on the left but the one on the right with the DXers is
surely only a photograph?

Here in the UK you can also have such things produced - they are called
"smilers" : you send a copy of a photograph of yourself to Royal Mail with a
fee and they print a sheet of stamp-sized photos attached to proper postage
stamps - just like the one on this Greek envelope. But the photo itself is
not valid as a postage stamp on its own.
