The pictures were most likely taken late in the war, those are M4A3E8 (Easy Eight) Shermans which were late production. I’ll bet those boys had great memories climbing up on those tanks (they may still be alive today...).

Yes, Fort MacArthur is just above Cabrillo beach. At one tine Fort Mac took up half to two thirds of San Pedro with tunnels connecting miles of gun emplacements scattered along the coast.
Most of that land has now been converted into parks... the old Fort is still in place above Cabrillo beach but has been given to the Air Force.
