From the pics it looks like it served with HML-267 and HML-776 (Reserves).
The squadron was HMM-165. Sent email to Bob with the pertinent info.
The earliest USMC squadron call signs I've found are PASSPORT - VMO-4 SHUTTER - VMO-5 These were used during the Iwo Jima campaign.
LUMINOUS was the MAG-16 call sign (Dec 67 -?), so it's probably Marble Mountain.
