What's this rifle?

This doesn't happen to me often, but I'm bothered when it does. The individual on the right is carrying what appears to be a FAL of some sort. What about the guy on the right? I thought SMLE at first, but the magazine seems too small. Help?

For some reason that bottom magazine almost brings to mind a Lee Enfield, but it lacks the barrel band.

Sure looks like a Czech vz 52, a.k.a. the Czech 'she' rifle (caliber 7.62x45, common in this Country)
or possibly a vz 52/57 (caliber 7.62x39, rare and highly collectible).

Can't make out the upper handguard to tell for sure, but the magazine
(not truly interchangeable between the two models) looks like a 52/57.

Yup, looks like a Vz 52 to me as well. I does look like a mini Lee-Enfield set in a short Mannlicher stock though!

VZ-52 for sure. If memory serves it was also called the SHE. We found a few of thes in the sandbox in 04.
