Digging into the details...
Gotta love topics like this...Indy minutia!
One of the soldiers from truck makes perfect sense and I don't know why I never thought of that before.
Probably because he's wearing a tunic instead of a khaki shirt. In my mind, the men who board the Bantu Wind have always been from the island base but now you guys have got me thinking otherwise. (The change of uniform is easily explainable.)
I don't think this guy was an actor/stuntman used in in the truck chase. One of them has his face hidden in the screencap below so I'll have to watch the scene again but it's very possible the bandaged guy was
meant to be one of them. Hmm...
Here's another screencap made during my 'study' of all the German uniforms in "Raiders":

I wonder if he is the same guy whose chest Marion poked her finger at, saying "don't you touch me" when she was captured on Katanga's boat? Maybe he did touch her and she kicked his ass?
It very well could be the same actor since his facial features & expressions are indeed similar. He also gives Marion a rough shove on the sub's deck. Maybe it's his last chance at payback for her unseen, submarine smack-down!
Good eye, Jacko, and thanks for bringing it up!
(Your 2nd post in 3 years and it's a good one.)
We have 2 possiblities here. Hopefully,
Kooshmeister will see this thread. I would love to here his opinion on this.
