"In the system": M1 Garand rebuilds

Article Abstract:

The M1 rifle was rebuilt at Springfield armory in 1947 and has a mixture of World War II and earlier parts. Collectors look down their noses at "rebuilt" M1 Garands, but hundreds of thousands of M1s had their useful lives extended through the efforts and dedication of skilled ordnance personnel "in the system".

The soldier in the picture published with this article looks very much like my grandfather. Is there a way to find out the name of the soldier?
