Help identifying old sailor image

Howdy folks. After a long absence, I find myself in need of some expert opinions and this is the first place that came to mind.

Life's exigencies have made it necessary to sell off my beloved collection of Naval artifacts, books, etc. Some are listed on eBay and others are (or will soon be) available through my website at www.brownwaternavy.org/collection.htm.

One of the items I have is an old image depicting what looks to be a veteran's parade featuring an old salt in full regalia. My question is, although his uniform looks to be CW era, the uniforms worn by the soldiers on the right seem more like SpanAm. However, the two soldiers appear to be much younger than the sailor.

Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
