Judging from the bayonets on the ones I can see?
Looks like movie actors with reproduction Brown Bess muskets.

Could they be Charleville muskets?

They could be anything.
I can't see them well enough to tell.

At any rate, they are Holloywood movie props.

Figure out what uniforms the actors are wearing, or what movie the photo is from and you could pin it down to what they are "supposed" to be.

Well its from the movie the patriot and there wearing continental army uniforms.

I found out they are the Charleville model 1766 musket.

I was going to say the bayonets appear to be correct for the Charleville.

I found what the guns were from this link. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Patriot,_The_(2000) I'm surprised that i didnt just type in " guns in the movie The Patriot" earlier.

Quick visual reference guide:

Bess used pins to secure the bbl to the stock.
Charleville used barrel bands.
