In my memory I thought there were Charlevilles in all these films, but flicking through a few of them I can't find a single real Charleville in any of them. All firing guns used by British or French troops appear to be Brown Besses, however there are a couple of other types of musket that appear but I think they are both rather crude non firing replicas. One of them has brass barrel bands which I think is meant to be a Charleville, but it is pretty far off.
