Are your photos from an iPhone 10? Apple has created a new format that isn't recognized by many of the forum software. If so, save it in .jpg format.

Thanks
Strangely, I can see it on my post and I posted it from my iPad.

Thanks Bruce!

Here is the one previous appraisal I obtained: (it was the single suspension I was curious about for a IJN Gunto)

WW2 Japanese naval kai gunto (1937 model)
Late war, single ashi (suspension mount) for naval landing forces (marines)
