I'm sorry Mark, I'm not seeing anything unusual. These would be follow up troops coming ashore and there would be all manner of personell and all units clustered together. Thus carbines, '03 and garands. What is it you're pointing out?

The front portion of the unfinished gas cylinder apears longer than the standard gas cylinder
