Thanks for posting the pictures.

 Looks like a later CMF machine mixed in with the Steel Tankers in the first picture.

 In the parade picture I think we know who is in the first row, how about row two and further back?

I was asking about the guys in the opening ceremony, third picture down.  There is something very special about the first two rows...
