An Apollo 11 montage…sort of…with an Apollo 4 launch photo, Apollo 10 photo of the earth - and to complete the presentation - a reversed image of Aldrin at the SEQ bay…yep.
If this photograph was indeed originally conceived & printed by Douglas Aircraft Co., not of NASA-origination/compilation, they can almost be forgiven, almost.
I guess it’s the effort that counted and 66.7% (a solid “D”), was good enough for contractor/gov’t work.
“APOLLO 11 ON MOON - - Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, is photographed during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA) on the Moon. He has just deployed the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP). Good view of deployed equipment. In the foreground is the Passive Seismic Experiments Package (PSEP); beyond it is the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3); in the center background is the U. S. flag; in the left background is the black and white lunar surface television camera; in the right center foreground is the 35mm stereo close-up camera; in the far right background is the Lunar Module. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm lunar surface camera.”
What look like scratches in the sky are photographic emulsion imperfections.

Slight differences, primarily the omission of reference to the Apollo Lunar Surface Closeup Camera (ALSCC), in the NASA online version:
“Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, is photographed during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity (EVA) on the moon. He has just deployed the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP). This is a good view of the deployed equipment. In the foreground is the Passive Seismic Experiment Package (PSEP); beyond it is the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3); in the center background is the United States flag; in the left background is the black and white lunar surface television camera; in the far right background is the Lunar Module (LM). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.”

And, of course, per the ALSJ:
“Neil took this picture at about 111:06:34. Buzz has now deployed both the east and west solar panels on the seismometer. He is looking toward the LM, perhaps to get a reference for his alignment. A labelled drawing of the PSEP
