I believe the latter two stills are from two different Signal Corps cameramen, the first, SC190366 is actually a frame from a motion picture reel showing that sequence. The second is from still camera shots of the same rescue. Notice the swamped M4 DD tank in the second shot. IIRC the LCVP in the background broached to on the DD and sank, the rescue effort was to recover the men aboard. I have seen it attributed to 7 June, but I think it is actually 6 June, but later in the morning.

Cheers!
