I thought this photo was a little different as well. Notice man in the middle in the back row. He has what apprear to be some type of buttons on his M-38 ( pocketless ) jump smock. Could the zipper have broken and this was a make shift way of repairing it?

And that left rear one has pockets on it. With helmet covers and the pockets it would be a post mid'40 photo. My guess on the buttons is that the long front zippers have become broken, and this was a way to improvise. I guess sonce converted step-ins and 3rd model smocks did away with fornt zippers, this photo tells you why.
