OK

Rather inconsiderate of them to drape the camo net over the car !

After studying the pic more, I believe the car is AIF M-260 or 261 , the digits don't line up in a neat line.

They are about to eat Froumines Delicious biscuits ( kosher food and made in the M/E ) and some kind of tinned food.

The ship codes are interesting.
