If Mails knew of Ward's work and didn't disapproved
enough to pursue it during his life only a very warped
sense of justice would demand that his heirs have the
right or obligation to do so.

That said if they think they have a case and want too then
they will bring a lawsuit so far they haven't.

That leaves just the barking and braying jackals calling
for blood.

It may be enough for Ward to prove that Mails knew of the
work and didn't pursue it. I'm at least a qualified as you to
render that legal opinion considering you are not a lawyer and
neither am I.

It may also be enough to prove that Mails work was based on
a photo, still from a old movie, or a third party illustration.

It does look a lot like a Kurosawa scene to me from the Seven Samurai.
