Trying to find out what the Army MOS would be for a combat photographer in 1967

Most likely this is 84B "Still Photographic Specialist". The U.S. Army does not seem to have had an MOS called "Combat Photographer" during the Vietnam era, or any other combination. Roger Hillerby's short recollection/memoir of Vietnam tells of how he started as a Still Cameraman who eventually became a combat photographer. ^1

Most searches agree that "Still Photographer" was the US Army MOS for Combat Cameraman. As an aside, the USMC actually does have the MOS: it is 4671 "Combat Photographer". This is that source, grain of salt, as it is not official so proceed with caution.

The current {2015} MOS appears to be 25V
