I googled it up and it looks like you’re right.
However, it looks like the angle for the pictures is different because in every other picture, the tower is to the left of the mosque instead of to the right of it.
Unless this picture was developed backwards.

I think it is the Western Wall, with the mosque behind it... compare to this modern pic:

Most pictures are probably taken from the courtyard, looking out, but this one was taken from outside the courtyard, looking in. Check out this drawing of the layout:
For the tower to be in that place in the photo, to the right and in front of the mosque, then the photo was taken from somewhere all the way on the left side of the drawing, about 2/3 of the way up.

It’s not uncommon for photos from that era to be mirror imaged, one such was the reason people thought Billy the kid was left handed!
