I am afraid the MINAS GERAIS was fitted with a large derrick mast, not a thin mast as on the pic.
The aircrafts are not my cup of tea, but the plane forward seems to be 'Etendard IV' type, used (only ?) in French navy.
Best regards,
Yvon

The story of CLEMENCEAU (sorry in French, http://www.netmarine.net/bat/porteavi/clem/histoire.htm ), reports a call at Rio de Janeiro, 9-14 November 1968.
