That's really not the definition of "Swing" - the Australian production has swings who are more accurately "Chorus", just filling out the, well, chorus, unless needed to Swing on! "Swing" is pretty specifically about a performer who covers multiple ensemble (and optionally principal) tracks. Femi Taylor was, by definition, not a Swing as far as we know, but a Chorus character.

Still, all this muddled terminology proves the point of why we have one big page for all the varieties of "Swing" and "Chorus" and "Walking Cover" etc - if we were to split it up it'd be impossible to find what you thought you meant!

Stand-in is a filming term, my experience lies very firmly in theatre not film so I don't know how to properly define it but I was under the impression it was the tedious set-up standing around while cameras are focused etc etc.

The list on the catsvideo.com website was clearly compiled by someone unfamiliar with the show - the mangled names, mis-spellings and confusion in roles shows they weren't sure what they were writing about. To my mind, that makes it a low-quality reference that we shouldn't take as evidence. It's just not reliable!
