Nice piece of ephemera Bill! I have a Xmas 1944 newsletter from the unit, also printed in two colours with the 'Howling Wolf' sign, their newsletter is aptly named, "the Howler".
(any mention of the M7 Priest conversions or other "Kangaroos" in your material from Cfn Ward? have to ask....)

Hi Bill, No there wasn't. There were a couple of menus, a unit "comic book", some small photos and a bit more ephemera.

Some might be imperfections on the original photo, but others are certainly some sort of badge. Maybe civilian souvenir badges?

As for your second detail, I think this is a flaw in the emulsion of the photo. The third detail I think is his CVSM ribbon, which is just turned backward at a slight angle. I have a companion photo to this one that started the thread, I discovered it had had a date on the back, "Dec 8, 1944". No location, but the unit was in Tilburg, Netherlands for the entire months of November and December 1944.
