Why does it look like the deacons/subdeacons are wearing surplices as opposed to albs?

Why does it look like the deacons/subdeacons are wearing surplices as opposed to albs?

Because they are both deacons of honor at the throne, not the ministers of the Mass. The old Roman Pontifical calls for them to wear what you see.
