What a super pic - thanks for sharing it with us.
Sadly Dad died in 1999 so can't ask him your question  - there is so much I would love to ask him now I've studied hos memoir so closely!!

I think the second sergeant from the left back row is my Dad, he was in N. Africa with RASC, I have done facial reccognision check between this photo and my christianing photo  in March 1946 and it's a 94% match although the guy in the desert has a few more pounds on this may be due to the injuries Dad suffered since N. Africa and the three meals a day he got there. Anyway, I like to think it is him.

Please allow me to add this photo to your thread  as it also shows another unit of RASC,    but also shows   ATS/EFI    girls or ladies in Alexandria.

Ask  your fathers  if they have ever heard of two sergeants getting married to each other during WW2.

I believe that the man  on the back row is locally recruited  Egyptian with the name Gabriel.  I have a photograph of him and his little daughter with my dad in a park in Alexandria.   The man third from the left standing at back.

To Sapper59, I hope that it is and I have many more photos which I shall put on soon. I do hope you might see another pic with him in to make it a 100% I.D.

Everybody, please feel free to add anything which could make all of our paths cross.
