Team - I purchased these pictures in the hopes that they were early West German Bundeswehr pictures but it turns out that they are early Austrian Bundesheer.
The clue that solved the puzzle was the presence of a Soviet PPsh-41 submachine gun that wasn't visible from the on-line auction website. When I discovered the mix of U.S. and Soviet weapons, I knew I was dealing with early Austrian troops.
In any event, I hope the Austria fans out there enjoy these pictures.
In the picture below, one can see from left to right, a M1911 pistol and slung M-2 carbine; an M1919A6 machine gun; another M1919A6; the PPsh-41, an M20 Rocket Launcher (Bazooka), and another M2 Carbine.
