Re: I need help to Id mortar
Actually it could be just an 82mm PM-37 (note round non-dished base plate, barrel seems too slender to be either a 107mm or 120mm M-1938). Also, please note the rifles that the Germans are carrying: one has a captured Polish 7.92x57mm Mauser Karabinek 98AZ carbine (standing soldier in top photo) and the others have long barrelled Mauser rifles which are either modified Gew. 98s or perhaps captured Polish Kar. 98s or even captured Czech Brno Vz. 98/22s. This goes to show that many German units, particularly rear echelon troops, which these troops may be, were not equipped with the otherwise ubiquitous Kar. 98K. I have seen photos of front line German infantry taken as late as the start of Operation Barbarossa in the summer of 1941 still equipped with the long barrelled Kar. 98b, complete with turned down bolt handle with cut out in the stock for the knob, grasping grooves in the fore stock, leaf rear sights, and side mounted sling.

Re: I need help to Id mortar
I believe the Swiss designated their licensed copy of the Brandt mle. 1927/31 81mm mortar the M-1933.

Re: I need help to Id mortar
I think Nuyt just might be correct; then the mortar is probably a French made Brandt mle. 1927/31. The Argentines used the Swiss helmet for many years, and the truck in the background looks like it might be a Ford, which were built locally by HAFDASA.
