Just to say this hasn't been forgotten so have posted a partial work - still working on it ....
This an amazing picture - particularly seeing some of the names on the winners lists - particularly see the 10th line down on the far left list - "Jesse Owens"

"Berlin 1936
At the 1936 Berlin Games, Owens won four gold medals, in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay and the long jump. He managed to break or equal nine Olympic records and also set three world records"

It would appear that the plaques have been "edited" since your picture was taken ......

Great work DB10, thank you,
It’s a great image all right, never knew it existed until fairly recently.
