It is true that Wiki captions this photo as being at Utah beach but Wiki attributes that to a US Army source. The US Army captions this photo at Omaha. Further, all sources agree that the photo was taken by combat photographer Louis Weintraub and all of his other D-Day beach photos are captioned at Omaha. I think the Omaha caption is pretty strong.
Author Steven Napier adds that these are members of the 741st Tank Battalion.
