Interesting. The clothing is actual work clothes for this shot - except the shoes.

These parts are for Douglas C-47 (or "Dakota") cargo planes. The "innerwing" is called the "center wing" or the "wing and nacelle assembly - complete" in the Parts List for this plane. The women are inspecting the upper surfaces of the starboard nacelles.
