I think the middle 3rd guy in the back is standing behind the jeep.

Good picture of the windshield cover edge detail.
Gen. Clark is way too tall for that little Jeep. He makes that Jeep look like a pedal car. Ike should have given him a command car. I’m sure he was never physically able to drive a Jeep.
