Would be yet more poignant if so, but I don't think that's the case. I came across the picture here, on a website belonging to the author of a Peter Lorre biography:

Also check out drawing of Lorre and Veidt as demonic ping-pong doubles team.
Thanks for the nice mention of the Peter Lorre biography website ("The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre" by Stephen D. Youngkin).
To clear up some confusion about the photo, here is the caption that accompanied it:
"A close shot of Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre en route to Oie Island to film 'F.P.1. antwortet nicht'. Although the actors appeared in different versions of the film, they developed a close friendship during the three-month location shoot."
So the two actors were on their way to work on their latest film, "F.P.1 antwortet nicht" (F.P.1 Doesn't Answer), not escaping from Nazi Germany.

Both in exile a year later.
Actually, I think this photo was taken during the course of that voyage

Love this blog, BTW.
