Well, entirely possible and more probable they are not the 2nd ID but 2nd Armored conducting briefs before a passage of lines or a relief in place of a 2ID unit or the end of each Div linking up to prevent straying into each other’s sector.

Both 2ID and 2AD were in the Omaha sector at the same time. Neat pix but in no way proves 2ID issued camo.
