Don't know if this helps, or not.

That could just as well be a picture of a unicorn horn as a rifle. No help and I'm not even from Missouri.

That semi-sitting / knealing firing position was one used by the WW2 Japanese . I wonder if he saw it there ? I've known about it for years , but I never seem to remember to try it out on the range . Looks to be good , though.

It looks like what is thought of as "low kneeling". The latest USMC marksmanship manual I have seen recognizes a low, medium and high kneeling position. The position of your non support foot in relation to how close it is to your posterior seems to be the determining factor. When you have your own foot in your A-- you are low kneeling.

Interesting sitting position in the second picture, might try that as I no longer have the flexibility required to get all the way down, and kneeling is just a bit too unstable.

It appears to be the kneeling position I was taught in the Army in the mid 1960s, the guy's foot is just out of position some. We were taught to sit on our foot in the kneeling position and I think this guy's foot is just a bit more inside than they taught in BCT.

By the way, for me getting into the sitting position can still be done but not it's a bit hard to breathe in it so I use a kneeling position evern though its less stable. A lot easier to get in and out of though.
