Default US pilots licences and photographs

This is background research for an article I'm writing.

Can someone tell me whether the FAA (or other agency) retains a
photograph of people who hold private pilot's licences in the USA?

No photo is currently required for any pilot certificate.

To fly as a Sport pilot, a valid driver's license may be used to establish
medical fitness and almost all states require a photo on a driver's license.

"No photo is currently required for any pilot certificate"

Correct, for current, but they have in the past. My old original paper
license from 1947 was replaced in 1955 with a new thin pasteboard wallet
size card. At that same time I was issued an Airman Identification Card
with a passport size photograph on it along with a thumb print. I still have
both of those cards in my possession today. I know that the FAA still has a
copy of that photo because I recently ordered a copy of my complete FAA
records and that card with the picture was among them. I don't know when
they dropped that requirement. My license card wasn't replaced again until
2010 when I got this new plastic one.

Illinois keeps the DL photo in digital storage, I was able to renew it this time and the DMV (SoS) used the photo from last time. IIRC, the photo can also be used for Firearms cards.
