Your caption appears to be incorrect. There were no gliders delivered to DZ "O" on 17 September. This appears to be the same photo (cropped) that you identify as 315th Troop Carrier Group delivering Polish Airborne to DZ "O" on 23 Sept. The latter caption is confirmed in Margry's Then and Now, Market Garden.

R Mueller (above):
I think you are right that the two photos were taken at the same time and place, but they are not exactly the same photographs. But since they were taken moments apart, your larger point about the inaccurate caption is also completely correct. I accept Margry’s authority on this so the caption has been corrected and the two photos have been linked. Thank you very much for pointing this out.
