“Operation Lion” was the code named for what is commonly known as the Larne Gunrunning using the ship Clyde Valley which had been renamed Mountjoy II for the occasion (WP) and which now lends its name to a flute band in the area. The hooded gunman on the right is carrying a more modern rifle, rather than surplus German and Italian WWI rifles that came ashore in April, 1914 (Full 30).
For a wide shot containing both pieces, see Norman Anderson.
