Greg, yes. Those are amtracs. The first one with 44 is probably one of the most published photos of Tarawa. I can honestly say I have never seen the other one. I'm not sure that is Tarawa. Gunny may be able to establish that. Great picture of Senick. I have seen it before but this has higher quality than what I've encountered. He one a pulitzer for one of his pictures on Betio.  Raymond Matjasic was with Captain Louis Hayward's photographic unit at Tarawa. He is in a picture with the whole group below that is another classic. This portrait picture of him is completely new. Never seen it anywhere before and I've seen a lot. Have been searching for one particular picture of an amtrac for a long time. Maybe #35 or #36 for a long time. Always hoping it would show up one day. Thanks for looking and sharing this material!
