03 Rifle Team

In re: the original picture. It looks to me as if the M1903's have "swept back" bolt handles which would mean that the picture was later than 1918. It may be the prospective of the picture but both the rifles in the left front appear to have the swept bolt but it is morel obvious on the second rifle from the left.
FWIW

I think that is a distortion due to the angle in the image.The two rifles in the back are pretty much straight on views aren't bent handles.Taken with the uniforms and equipment,cartridge belts,it is certainly before 1916.Some of the stuff would have been pretty dated even for the NG post-1918 IMO.
