In the second picture, the birds head grip of the revolver held by the officer second from left can be seen (against his white life jacket). That rules out the use of an (anachronistic) Mk VI. The barrels on the others also look a bit too short to be the Mk VI - 6" barrel as standard - whereas the marks I to V were made with various barrel lengths, but 4" was quite common.
