A transfer compartment was docked with Progress M-26M cargo vehicle
There are two vehicle in the 3rd image of the "slide show." One is surrounded by yellow scaffolding, and the other is not. They both look like Progress or Soyuz.
In that image, is Progress M-26M the one in the scaffolding?
What is the second craft?
Thank you,
Zubenelgenubi

From the action in further posts with image attachments, I think I've answered one of my questions--the craft that was surrounded by the yellow scaffolding is Progress M-26M.
I'm still can't quite distinguish the adjacent craft as Soyuz or Progress. I can't tell if I'm seeing a Soyuz descent module, or not. Can any of you tell, and how?

It looks like a Progress. For Soyuz the descent module is usually left uncovered.
