Can anyone see grasping grooves, or are the RA's?

Note M1911A1, M1923 belts, I tried fixing the pics, but they went back on their sides

Rifle on the left might have grooves, hard to tell. What's in the chests?

They appear to be officers, etc. With guards and pistols, it appears to be pay day and those are stacks of cash. I suspect they are disbursing officers doing their duty. I did it as a 2nd and 1st LT and it looked the same as in the picture. That was before check to bank, and pay day musters were really pay day musters...

Yea, I remember going to Finance and signing for a paper sack with over $150,000.00 in it after it'd been counted out in front of me (a little too quickly I always felt). I'd walk back to our company area with it and sit behind a table within an empty quanset hut with everyone in the battalion lined up outside. I'd have a .45 1911 in a shoulder holster and there'd be one of my guy's (usually Huggy Bear, my tank driver) from my platoon standing next to me with a loaded M-16. I'd always paid him first of course.
