"The appearance of the two Doughboy American NCO’s in the photograph is consistent with 1918 and the numbers of such troops coming into action on the Western front."

I think your "Doughboys" are "Kiwis" from New Zealand? They seem to be wearing pagris around their hats? Also the man on the left has Corporals stripes/chevrons worn in the British style point downwards.
