Minnie is smiling in the other colour photo, but neither of the men are. Were these publicity shots? Newspaper photographs? The black and white photo must have been taken on another occasion- and is altogether jollier- with the family members interacting; it looks like a snapshot- taken by someone they were happy to have around.

Maybe it was an army photographer? He looks to be on break from his military duties, being in uniform & all.

Could be- and that might explain the all-round lack of enthusiasm. They're being used by the military- and they resent it.
