Default Help Identifying Catcher In Barney Stein Photo

This 8 x 10 glossy original photo by Barney Stein shows a play at home plate with (apparently) Carl Furillo sliding (safe if the umpire's hands are an indication) and Billy Cox as the batter at the time. It's an Ebbets Field game given the Bums' white uniforms.

I'd probably date the photo in 1955 given that Cox was batting a couple of spots below Furillo in the batting order, but that's pretty speculative.

Any ideas based on stockings, etc as to who the catcher was, or at least the visiting team? IDing the home plate umpire would be incredible
