That is not a Pave Low, it is a CH-53E Super Stallion. You can tell by the size, the tail section and the nose.

It was Labelled by the Photographer as an MH-53E Pave Low. The Pave Lows were the Marine Corps varient. Right.

No, Pave Lows were a different kind of helicopter, which was retired in '08. Super Stallions (CH-53E) were initially a variant of the Sea Stallion (CH-53A, B, C and D), but with a third engine and a seventh rotor blade. The Pave Low was developed from the CH-53B/C, and had its own variants (HH-53B, HH-53C, HH/MH-53H and MH-53J/M, the later being famous for its role as USAAF 4500X/Blackout in Transformers) . The Marine variant of the CH-53 was called MH-53E Sea Dragon, not Pave Low. The Pave Low itself has a Marine variant, the HH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant. So to conclude, MH-53Es are a variant of the Super Stallion, but Pave Lows are not MH-53Es.

I thought differently from MW2 killstreaks Pave Lows and the original stating this as a MH-53E Pave Low and that the MV-22 Osprey had a M for Marines (Also the Original had MARINES on the Rear of the Fusalage. I'll Upload it) and the USAF had the CV-22 Osprey C for the Air Force Varient soo I thought that was a Pave Low. But hey I'm happy for corrections. Thanks for the sharp Eyes
