The site with that armored car & flamethrower unit (first pic) also mentioned that the helmets looked like 'turkish contract' helmets...I'm assuming they meant the guy with the slung rifle & stick grenade and the three guys behind him...helmets look like the front brim was chopped off...

There was also something about an influenza epidemic...Makes me wonder if the 'flammenwerfer' unit was burning out contagion sites, rather than Communist agitators...
