The third of three photos Gene Cernan took of Jack Schmitt jumping into the passenger/LMP LRV seat. Good view of the segmented mirror on the top of the TV camera. Note the seismic charge transporter mounted behind Gene's seat, just in front of the rake. Both the low-gain and high-gain antennas are pointed at Earth. East Massif is in the distance.
Paraphrased - of course - from the ALSJ.
