I wonder if a member could date this foto of Marine HJ honor guard.
Why is the standard bearer wearing the regular HJ uniform instead of a Marine one, similar to the boy behind?

This photograph is from the period 1934 to 1938 .

You can tell from the HJ sailors wearing "MHJ" block pattern ( pre 1938) cap tallies with dual insignia ( M29 national eagle with HJ diamond) ....the national eagle was abolished for wear per order dated 30 September 1938 , also the HJ flag bearer in the middle is wearing pre 38 straps .
 
The flag bearer is just wearing the traditional HJ summer uniform ...problibly with Marine HJ straps .
