IMAGE ROLES Image 1 — the original Saigon photograph and mandatory edit target. Image 2 — Saikan, strict authoritative character reference. Image 3 — Stary, strict authoritative character reference. Perform a localized photorealistic edit of Image 1. Replace ONLY the two standing Vietnamese soldiers on the far-right side of the foreground tank. Do not replace or modify the two seated soldiers on the left. Replace the far-right standing soldier with Saikan from Image 2. Replace the standing soldier immediately to his left with Stary from Image 3. Preserve the exact positions, scale, body orientation, poses, foot placement and contact with the tank of the original figures. Saikan wears his exact red beret, camouflage uniform, equipment and boots from Image 2. Stary keeps his exact face, camouflage helmet, uniform, vest, equipment and boots from Image 3. Preserve both distinct identities, facial features, ages and body proportions. Their exact AK rifles are naturally secured on slings, leaving their hands relaxed and clearly visible. No aiming or combat pose. Integrate both characters seamlessly into the original 1975 photograph. Precisely match its soft overcast daylight, exposure, color balance, faded saturation, modest contrast, lens softness, atmospheric haze, depth of field and fine irregular color-film grain. Match the original low local sharpness: no modern digital detail, HDR, oversharpening, plastic skin, edge halos or pasted-in appearance. Add physically correct contact shadows, occlusion and reflections where clothing and boots meet the tank. ABSOLUTELY PRESERVE Image 1 outside the two replaced figures: the entire building, flags, tank geometry, gun barrel, painted number, tracks, surfaces, both seated soldiers on the left, background tank and soldiers, trees, grass, perspective, framing and original 3:2 crop. Do not reconstruct, clean up, enhance or reinterpret any unchanged area. Exactly four people must remain on the foreground tank. No additional people, duplicated bodies, extra limbs, distorted hands, swapped faces, altered markings, new objects, text or watermark. The result must look like an authentic, well-preserved color press photograph taken in Saigon in 1975, not an AI-generated reconstruction.
