The other photos have no such ambiguities, albeit, the fellows are all masked. Though, they're in the same exact uniform, same ammo bags, same weapons, etc. The Russians used the same method in Chechnya, moving in Russian troops pretending to be Pro-Moscow Chechnyans, and they have forces who train to be "ambiguous" for these kinds of operations.
Yup. The overarching point still stands. Same uniform, same weapons...etc.
Uniforms would be made out of "whole cloth". Check for matching pieces of "camo" uniforms.
