Austrian Schwarzlose MG, originally in 8x56R caliber. Thousands of these went to Italy as partial reparations for WW1. These don't appear to be Italian troops, though. Swede? Greek? I'm not able to tell.
Soldiers of the Czechoslovak border detachment ("State Protection Groups), battalion number 24, at the Maria Valeria bridge over the Danube in Parkano (current Stúrovo) in southern Slovakia. They are prepared to repel Hungarian aggression, 1938. http://worldwartwo.filminspector.com/2014/03/invasion-of-czechoslovakia.html
