That's a nice photo Doug. They could either wear a single or double breasted tunic, depends on what order of dress was determined for that day - it was referred to as - "rig of the day".
The two centre ratings are CPO ERA's, at that time frame only Chief ERA, Chief EA, & MAA's wore the three gilt cuff buttons.
That changed after 1WW(1920) when the CPO cap badge was altered to the laurel leaves around the anchor & CPO's of all branches wore the three gilt cuff buttons.
