I found this link on the Time Lines Forum. Be advised, the F word shows up a couple times in the commentary for the photos.
It's quite strange to see Japanese faces in SS, British, Italian and Falshirmjager uniforms. Given there were Japanese Americans in uniform, that shot is not so strange. Much of the equipment and uniforms are very good, but there are exceptions!

Yep,
That is a real picture of Japanese envoys checking out a Tiger...
And I agree, something just isn't right about that whole deal although I can't really put my finger on it.
