Does a P85 (UK tax form) require a photo?

The form I see online has a rectangular space on the top-left corner of the first page—but nothing is stated as to the purpose of that space! Am I right in guessing that one is expected to attach a photo of one's self in that space to the P85 if you're applying for tax refund by the physical post method??
