As long as we're still beating a dead horse....

I'm with Tom B.  

The radio's are too tall to be PRC-25's.  Plus the 25 has only one antenna mount, so you can't install both antennas at once.  There are separate mounts on the PRC-8/9/10 for the long and short antenna.  Various load-carrying gear got used, so counting the straps means very little.

Then there the radio with the fat antenna.   PRC-41 makes sense.  It's a UHF air-band forward-air-controller (FAC) radio.

Gene,

It can't be a PRC-25 because the length of the radio is too long.  At first, I thought this might be two PRC-8/9/10 radios in different frequency ranges strapped together.  It is possible that it is one radio with both antennas installed.   The short antenna would be disabled if the long one was installed.  But what possible reason could there be for doing that?

I can't help but think the 2 RTOs (2nd from left and right of center) are operating PRC-25/77's with BOTH antennas - AT-271 and AT-892 - screwed into position. And it appears their radios are not -10s because there are only 2 straps. PRC-10's harness has three straps.
