Which version of MASH is this?

In the movie, MASH (1970), Hawkeye and Trapper were played by Donald Sutherland and Eliot Gould respectively. Major Burns was played by Robert Duvall.

In the TV series (1972), Alan Alda played Hawkeye and Wayne Rogers played Trapper John. McLean Stevenson played the hilariously funny Colonel Blake, and his replacement was Harry Morgan as Colonel Potter. One may remember Harry Morgan as Sargent Bill Gannon from Dragnet.

Lee Marvin starred in the Dirty Dozen (1967) as Maj. John Reisman.

Alan Ladd was a movie star from the 30's - 60's.

So who was the funny little guy with specks?
