Hans-Heinrich Sixt von Armin Welcomes Maximilian von Weichs

Generalleutnant Hans-Heinrich Sixt von Armin (center, Kommandeur 95. Infanterie-Division) welcomes Generaloberst Maximilian Reichsfreiherr von Weichs (right, Oberbefehlshaber 2. Armee) who has just arrived at the headquarters of an unnamed Wehrmacht corps on the Eastern Front. This photo was taken in April 1942 by Kriegsberichter Mey Hubert. At that time, the 95. Infanterie-Division (Von Armin) was under the command of the LV. Armekorps led by General der Infanterie Erwin Vierow. Then, is the officer wearing the thick fur jacket on the left is Vierow? It is not known for certain because there is no description in the original source.
