Those turtles resemble a type of Australian snake-necked turtle, likely the Eastern Long-necked Turtle (Chelodina longicollis) or other Chelodina sp.
 
Looking at the photo again, the turtle on the left looks like a Mary River Turtle (Elusor macrourus), and the one on the right might be an Elseya species.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Apparently Artis had 1 species of Elseya and that is Elseya novaeguineae, according to Zootierliste from the 1970's till 2012 so that fits in the timeframe.
