Help to ID Soviet & Rom pilots

First Ebay photo ( I have the original frm an other angle )
shows a group of Romanian and Soviet pilots sometime
Sept - Oct 1944 . I did identify the Soviet Lt on the
left ( infantery ) and 2nd from right (VVS pilot ) rest
and despite numerous efforts, no results .A hind the
the Soviet pilot in center seems to wear a non Soviet
medal while to his right the Romanian pilot seems to wear
Virtutea Aeronautica order .....From the same time just
shortly after Rom. capitulation Aug or Sept 1944 a IAR-81
probablyat Pipera airfield with a fragmented vertical
stabilizer probably done on purpose to prevent immediate
use of aircraft . any details ?
