John,
The men in question were not Navy. They were in an
ejercito---Army. My husband said he saw what they called "tracks" on the
shoulder of the man seated--that is a Captain's rank insignia. The other
man had nothing on his shoulder, but he had an insignia on his collar and an
eagle on his chest. He believes he was a major. At the time, 1920's,
didn't the Mexican forces kind of follow the American uniforms? About the
sword, my husband didn't know; he said that went out long time ago in the US,
unless the cavalry used them.

As a former Marine I don't believe you are
correct:
Two bars in the U.S. Navy was a Lieutenent. A Captain
insignia
in the Navy an Eagle. The Navy LT. did wear
two bars {bands} but on his
sleeve. The Captain had
four on his.
