It might just be the shadows, but I think Chaplin has a (real) mustache here. I read somewhere that he would occasionally grow a mustache or a beard just for the heck of it.
Also, considering how gray Charlie's hair had become by this time, he must have dyed it for The Gold Rush, which was in production in late 1924. You only hear of him dying it for The Circus and later films, but his hair is much darker in TGR than it is here.
