Glider Infantry, see just about every weapon except MG and carbine. Notice the Medic looks unarmed.....Frank

Yep , Garands , M1 or M1A1 Thompson ( w/ 30 rd stick mag. ) , BAR , M1 or M1A1 Bazooka , '03 springfield for grenade launching ( front sight and looks to be 1 piece nosecap so not 'A4 nor 'A3 ). BAR has leather sling ( Normal , because the web version was very late issue ) but the rest may have web slings . Note the color shade difference to the BAR , but can't be sure. Bazooka is web for sure.
D-day or Market Garden ?

I thought Garands typically had leather. So maybe later, like Market Garden?

Yeah, front sight on the 03. I wish I could tell if that was a milled front cap on the stock. You usually see just regular 03's mostly. But if it WAS later, maybe it WAS an a3. But I'm thinking not. What do you think?

That garand on the right, the 3rd rifle down. It has an interesting wood grain on the front hand guard. Nice.
