I’m not happy about this one, but I’ve run in to a brick wall so far looking for more info. So I’m going to need some AI-spotters to help me figure this one out, please. Unless of course I’m wrong, and both pics are legit. But I have my doubts…

In any case, this particular AV videotape station allegedly belonged to the US army, and in the 2nd pic, it’s a PFC Mathesen who’s the particular technician posing.

EDIT: Mystery seems solved thanks to a couple folks below. Evidently these are two genuine photos, likely shot the same day. I remain curious about the first person’s uniform though, since it seems so different from the second person’s.

    p.s. look at the chair shadow, the light does seem to come from the left and possibly the height of those poles. It would make sense for those. (They are also brighter lit at the top, with a sharp drop of in brightness) And a guy in the military taking professional photos might not have actually been a professional photographer, depending on what the photos were for.

    p.s. Oh an also they could be close together to form one light source to create better shadows. It is a small room and if they were farther apart it might look weirdly lit.
