No, Peter in yellow and at the communion table, just as Paul is at the communion table on the other side:

In groupings of the apostles the leading figures are very often Peter and Paul or, in scenes where Paul is not present, Peter and John. Andrew, being the first-called, is frequently shown as close behind. In this composition, John (depicted as the Theologian rather than as the Young Disciple) follows Paul. Andrew, who's often depicted as white-haired and with a fairly full beard, is a good bet to be the apostle following Peter. But, as previously noted "(perh.)", it's only a guess.
Best again,
John Dillon
