Are those Deacons wearing Mitres or Bishops in Dalmatics? This picture confuses me.

Most likely Cardinal Deacons - who are Bishops - in the role of Deacon, and hence in dalmatics.

They will be Cardinal Deacons. See if this article helps.

They are cardinal deacons. The one on the Pope’s left is Cardinal Castrillon de Hoyos and I think the one on the left is Cardinal Herranz [not one hundred percent sure on him though]. the picture is from Ash Wednesday 2008. It was the first time cope bearers were used in Benedict XVl’s pontificate.

One learns something new every day. Glad you posted the question. The answer is logical but it would never have occurred to me.
