Blowing up that photo I still can't be positive.
Further review I'd tend to agree the photo is reversed, no canteen visible on the left. Also looks like the denim guys are the Op Force, picture 3 shows another gas trap and a 1903, these pre-war Garand photo's show the SS gas cylinder quite well, they hadn't had the molten dichromate black finish perfected yet.

It looks reversed to me. Gas trap in that last one also. I think. Well, the first one for sure. The second no, it's a right handed position, and the third one could possibly be flipped, but no way to tell, I don't think.
Duh, last one is not because of the bolt. I thought you meant all three pictures but I see you meant the three guys in the first one. I'm pretty sure it's flipped.
