Just leave it. If it was done by a family member it's a part of the photo's history. As collectors we have to sometimes look at these items not as mint collectables but as part of people's history. The SS did and still has a bad reputation and was not something anyone would want to admit to being associated with after the war. The deathshead is still there but maybe the person who marked out the runes never knew the signifigance of the skull. Perhaps done by a relative who only had this photos to remember a son or brother by. Altering an item just doesn't do it for me.
