I would say yes on the suppressor.  The two items I'm not sure about is the sight device on top of the revolver and is that a pressure switch in his mouth that's connected to the headlamp?

My guess is yes on the switch, and that the object mounted on top of the gun is a light of some sort.  While I have no first-hand knowledge of the subject, apparently they adapted some S&W Model 15's for use by the "tunnel rats" in Vietnam.  These revolvers used reduced loads in .38 special and were fitted with a cylinder-barrel gap so tight they had to be rotated by hand and were known to lock up after just a few rounds fired. Not many were made and proved to be an unsuccessful experiment which was quickly abandoned.  I'm guessing this soldier is outfitted with such equipment.
