Hello! On 27 June 1942, Mannerheim visited Hitler at his military headquarters “Wolfsschanze" outside of Rastenberg. Perhaps the picture was taken on that occasion.

Best regards,
Shawn

Hello Christian!
Mannerheim gets his KC on August 30th, 1941. After that date the pic was taken.
Only two meetings between Hitler and Mannerheim are known.
a.) June 4th-5th, 1942 Hitler visited Mannerheim in Finnland for congratulations to Mannerheim's birthday.
b.) June 27th, 1942 Mannerheim visited Hitler in his HQ Wolfsschanze.
I think your pic was taken at the second meeting during the military conference (Lagebesprechung).

Hi!

I believe the 4th man in the photo is indeed Tuompo. Here's a pic for comparison.
