Somebody knows the names of this tow NCOs of 24. PD on 15 September 1942 at Stalingrad (on their left there was also another NCO with a Ppsh41)?

Jason Mark discusses this photo in his book Angriff. The German Attack On Stalingrad In Photos, pp. 184-187.

Their identities are not known (if Mr Mark isn't able to identify them, then it's safe to say that nobody's identified them so far). The whole sequence of photos makes it obvious that two field correspondents spotted these two NCOs escorting Russian stragglers and persuaded the NCOs to pose for actions shots.
