He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Ben Gazzara a WWII vet?
But seriously, what's on the muzzle of that rifle?

I can't tell just what it is but is probably something to keep the snow out, observing the surroundings.
I don't think he was in WWII, without looking him up, because I seem to have seen him in some movies from the 50's where he was a teenager, or very young.
He could have been in Korea.
(ok, I'm going to go look him up)

That is a K-Ration box on the muzzle of the rifle. Common practice during inclement weather when rifle muzzle covers weren't available.

Mark-
It very well could be a D Ration box!! I had thought a K Ration box because those are a little bigger and will fit over the muzzle of an M1
. The D Ration box is quite a bit smaller than the K Ration box.
The box is at a bad angle - just not sure.

Frank, the other rifle looks like a Garand as well. Look at the floor plate just forward of the trigger guard, it can just be made out. This photo has been colorized so nothing really looks right.
