Hopefully this might provide a clue to where some of the other photographs were taken.

Row 3 No 7 Gerald Bunting (1929-2013)
I have a high resolution scan of this image.
I never knew where it was taken till seeing this picture. We only learned a little more of my father's time in the marines after my mothers death.
I have numerous other picture of him with "mates", probably some on here
