Has anybody identified the J6 Capitol attack units designated in green tape, like the individuals in this photo?

This unit is at the vanguard of the storming of the stairs to the terrace level, Senate side of the West Front.

#January6thCommittee doesn't seem interested.

Orange armbands on Peace Monument/Civil War Sailors Monument, J6 2021, 1:06 PM. Within minutes of Ray Epps leading tip of the spear through Capitol Police barrier. Any significance? People up there were goading unsuspecting crowd members to "move forward." flickr.com/photos/1924011…
