Operational security is the most important aspect of personnel deployments. The real names, faces, and identities, of personnel involved in special operations or activities, are usually a closely held secret in a combat zone, Nance said. Revealing them casually, through an unusual media exposure even if its the commander in chief, would prove a propaganda boom if any of this personnel are detained by a hostile government or captured by a terrorist group. There would be no denying who you are and what you do.

"Any videos uploaded to social media showing special forces soldiers almostalways have their faces blurred so as not to reveal their identities, according to Newsweek."

So it sounds like its happened before


I have never to my recall any instance where Navy Seals have had their identities knowingly shown for a photo OP. If you can find any instance of that please forward that along.
