Could this be another picture from the same sequence of photos you mentioned?
Seeing this, would your suggestion about the "69" still stand?

Hi Hanno;
No, this picture is not from the same sequence of photos. The troops being carried in the Priest Kangaroos in this instance are the 7th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, 154th (Highland) Infantry Brigade, 51st (Highland) Infantry Division. The chalked Tac Sign on the armoured plate reads
HD 69 (attached top photo) and the 7th Argyll's Tac Sign/Route Marker appears in the lower right hand corner of the photo (attached, bottom photo)
Cheers
