I am interested to know why it is widely believed this painting from the 16th century depicts Sultan Selim:

I don't know whether the portrait depicts sultan salim or not but he is certainly not Emperor Akbar. His clothing style, Jwellery, Turban all are very different from what the Mughals used to wear.
 
Another portrait of Akbar

The painter of it is unknow such as how did it come to Topkapı place. It was finished in early 1800's before the Yavuz, but our historians believe that he is Shah Ismail. 

and this is his son's(Sultan Suleiman) portrait with earring



I think the portrait belongs Suleiman, because of confusion, people think that is Yavuz. However it is still imaginary painting for me.
