If its a McD photo it will have an ID stamp on back ?

The photo is scanned from a italian magazine of 80s.The suit of Grissom seems a very early gemini suit (note the helmet and the white band on the legs),and this image seems taken in moment in wich the gemini capsule was in development.So,1963 ?

Having looked only briefly at the inverted image that Carmello posted, are we sure it is even Grissom? Hard to tell, but I am not sure about that identification.

With all the "shirts" around the capsule this was probably a 'fit check' at McD ?

The crew member could have been a techie dressed in suit for the test purposes ?

Carmelo:

Don't worry about photo dating. A lot of women you meet that way are...well, never mind. Find a nice girl and settle down.

Just give them a blast of that Old World charm girls lose their minds over. Give 'em an eyeful of your continental tailoring and remember, while you kiss their hand, look in their eyes. If you do it right, even a Princess will think spaghetti and meat balls is the most magical dinner of her life.

I'm just Neopolitan, and only half at that, so you guys from Sicily are already three jumps ahead. And still pushin'!

Va bene!
