There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Later picture, high hump gas cylinder lock, no lock bar sight...and his rear sight is cranked all the way up. Must be taking aim at a warmer location.

Everything about that picture says "movie still photo". He, his uniform and kit is just too neat to be anywhere real life.

Given the picture quality - my guess would be an reenactor
Given the sight position Hollywood is also a possibility but the image does not ring any bells as to the movie

I thought that soldier looked a lot like Henry Fonda, here is a scene right before the above picture but in B/W. Movie is Battle Of The Bulge (65).

Once I again I am reminded of the line from the John Frost played by Anthony Hopkins in A Bridge Too Far:
Something just occurred to me.
What's that, sir?
We're wearing the wrong camouflage.
It's all very well for the country,
but we won't fool anyone in the towns.
