Looking at the face, it seems really the good old Octavius

Looks a little young to be Octavian, why can't it be a young member of of the court? Or even just a rich Roman's son in general?

Your questions are correct. The official channels do not speak of Augustus, e.g. the Macedonian news agency and the Ministry of Culture. They only “assume the head belonged to an emperor or a distinguished citizen that lived in the 1st century A.D." while some local pseudo scholars reported it is properly Augustus
