Not easy to see ( there is another one at the front of the flight deck )
but I'd say they are Morane-Saulnier Criquets, a French-built version of
the German Fieseler Storch. Criquets were used extensively in French
Indochina. Not a carrier aircraft per se, but it would have had no
problem flying off that deck in a stiff breeze.
