Cool. Capa was one of the great photojournalists of that era.
The tommy looks like a 28a1 with XX rd mag.

That one is not like most TSMG war pictures, the bolt is back and ready for action. I just love seeing a war picture where someone seems to be in combat, and the bolt is shut tighter than a drum. No pun intended.

Edit to add: It looks like the bolt is at the "first click" position and not all the way back.
