British soldiers in liberated southern parts of the Netherlands (1944) dressing up as 'Zwarte Pieten' (Black Petes) to help the Dutch celebrate 'Sinterklaas'. It's a yearly Dutch tradition when a Santa Claus like figure (in the center of the UC with the mantle, staff and big hat) visits the Netherlands for about 3 weeks and gives presents to all the children.

Are the letters D and B just vehicle identifying purposes, as were numbers? So you can have quick and easy communication between vehicles and command.

Exactly, this was the classic artillery style marking for A, B, C, D... guns.
From late 1942 LwFD were equipped with four StuGs each division, that is until late 1943 take-over by the Heer and the number of vehicles being bumped up for Lw-PzJg-Abt's
