The red figures the centre are obviously a portrait of the group, but I was wondering if anyone could definitely suggest whose faces are pictured in the bushes and clouds? Are they band members, or associates, or others?

The wistful collection of faces that appear in the billowing clouds and the throughout the green landscape offer a tranquil, calming sense of well being to the proceedings, and whilst the actual artwork may leave it difficult at times to work out exactly who is represented in each area of the frame the overall impression is one of extreme warmth. The instantly recognizable, cherubic face of Brian appears through the clouds in the top left corner of the sleeve, whilst the image of Alan appears on the opposite side, but just who the remaining faces represent is open to discussion. Certainly, the small image to the left of Alan (wearing sunglasses maybe ?) is remarkably non-representative of any of the Beach Boys and one wonders if the artist, a certain David McMacken, whoever he may be, ‘snuck’ that one in on the sly …

I don't know but if I were to make guesses, this is why I'd say.
Starting from left bottom:
Isaac Newton
Brian Wilson
Half-faced figure below Brian ?
Eleanor Roosevelt
Peter Noone
Peter Fonda
On the top right:
Carlos Santana
Al Jardine
Carl Wilson
Jonathan Swift

Is there a reason why part of Bruce's head is cut off?

I always thought the two green bushes were Dean Torrence (left) and Jan Berry (right).
The clouds were always a guessing game for me.
Under Al, it looks like Carl. The sunglasses? Maybe Stephen J. Kalinich or Desper?

Might be fair to say it's the beach boys and some "friends"

It's been discussed here a few times, and I don't believe a solid conclusion has been reached. (See: search).

Perhaps Korthof, Parks, and Grillo are represented.

Bottom left = Paul McCartney
Bottom right = Weird Al Yankovic
Left clouds = Brian Wilson, Hillary Clinton, Dennis Wilson, Mozart
Right clouds =moustached sunglasses dude, Al Jardine, Carl Wilson

"Because of the attitude of a few mental dinosaurs intent on exploiting our initial success, Brian's huge talent has never been fully appreciated in America and the potential of the group has been stifled.... If the Beatles had suffered this kind of misrepresentation, they would have never got past singing 'Please Please Me' and 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand' and leaping around in Beatle suits."
-Dennis Wilson, 1970
