Solemn Ambrosian Vespers and Benediction (Usus Antiquior Ambrosianus)

The following images come from Res Musica and show Solemn Vespers according to the ancient Ambrosian Rite, offered by Msgr. Angelo Amodeo, Canon of the Metropolitan Chapter of the Cathedral of Milan, in the Basilica di San Nicolo di Lecco on Oct. 2nd, 2011.

A "skill testing question" of sorts for our readers: we've spoken of certain distinctive features of the Ambrosian rite here in the past, how many can you visually pick out in these two photos based on the details I've just given you and generally?
