Look at all the dried dust/mud..... and the gravel trapped inside the angle iron on the front glacis.......

Tailgating another UC perhaps??????

Or perhaps it's Halloween and they are trick and treating..??

What is the driver wearing there are no "epaulettes" on the shoulder of his top........ the other seems to be wearinga battle dress???

Think you got it smack on Bob!! A Wasp Carrier was seldom driven slowly!! They were driven goggles pushed against face fast!! If I was the enemy guess which carrier I would target first! The only other difference the crew uniforms had were the colour. They were brown. lol

Joking aside. As a carrier man they are the elite carrier crew in my estimation.
