The LT in the center appears to have a 6147th Tactical Control Group ("Mosquito") patch on his left chest.

That's a correct ID and it would make sense with a Ground Control affiliation shown in the previous photograph.

 

The patch on the right breast of the jacket is eluding me...

It could be a flight patch as well, there seemed to be several done within the squadrons. Here's one I had, C Flight from the 6148 TCS. BTW, the skeleton from the 13th BMS was named Oscar...

The patch on the right may be the 6148th or 6149th Tactical Control Squadron. I've never seen an example of either so I'm in the dark. Could also be one of their Flights as Randy suggested.
