I don't think so Henrik. The HJ in Austria were wearing full HJ uniform before the ban so if we assume that this pic was taken in Austria (certainly looks alpine in the background) during the period where the NSDAP was illegal there I wouldn't expect to see them wearing a party armband but rather the HJ armband. I seem to remeber reading somewhere that during the period in which the NSDAP was made illegal in Germany that the white shirt was was worn as a sign of defiance and party allegiance so these chaps might even be from southern Germany. I don't know.
