Not exactly. Mortar, howitzer and guns refer to the common trajectory classification. Motars shoot high trajectory, guns shoot low trajectory, with howitzers being in the middle range.

I thought mortars were muzzle loaders and howitzers were breech loaders.

Not according to Marine Artillery in the 80's. I've been on howitzers and guns.

Maybe you're not as big a fan as you think you are...

The guy's holding a shotgun, the woman is leaning against a car.

Don't know about the gun either but the woman is holding a Kodak Brownie camera 

[Garufa]

The shotgun is a Browning Auto-5 or perhaps a Remington Model 11.  The humpback is distinctive.  

Come on y’all, this is a gun forum, lol.

Your eyes are better than mine.  I still can't make out the humpback even though you told me it's there.

The pic with the soldier sitting on the stool with rifle. Is that a blank firing device on the muzzle?

That's a Marine; not a soldier. Judging from the shooting glove on his left hand and that he is wearing a shooting jacket, I'd say he's part of the Marine Corp's marksmanship team. I have no idea what that is covering the muzzle of his rifle as it is well before I was born.
