I kept the 56(R) Sqn Archives for a while up to 2011 when I retired. Yes the photo is back to front. The following is the best guess as to the personnel .

L to R Sgt PEM Robinson; Sgt P Hillwood; Plt Off J J Himr, Plt Off B J Wicks; Fg Off I B Westmacott; Sgt Myall; Flt Lt E J Gracie; Plt Off G G Bailey; Plt Off M Constable Maxwell; Plt Off Wyatt; Sgt Norman Doniger; “Tommy” Guest; Plt Off RFFG Malengreau; Plt Off F W Higginson; Sqn Ldr H M Pinfold (OC 56)

Taffy Higginson was commissioned on 24 Sep 1940, Jumbo Gracie was posted on 7 Jan 1941 so your window is late 1940. Innes Westmacott looks as if he has recovered from the burns received at the end of Aug and Malengreau joined the sqn on 8 Dec so my guess is mid/late Dec 1940.
