In addition to what John has suggested, we actually have a template layed out in Corel, that looks very similar to your attached image. We vector cut it on our laser. We tape it down on the plaque and it perfectly positions the photos and beveled acrylic, as well as the engraving plate. Makes this type of plaque a snap to put together.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

I forgot to mention that the template is a wasted piece of Rowmark or similar material. It could be a masonite type of material as well; about 1/8" in thickness.

Ed,
I use that type of template for a lot of my perpetual plaques as well.
Use a piece of Rowmark plastic, using CorelDRAW for alignment, cut out a space for each plate, tape the template to the plaque, position each plate in the appropriate space, drill holes or tape plate down----DONE!
No more mis-aligned plaques and 10 times quicker than manually placing & aligning.
