==Painting of Jock Lewes with a Bren gun==
Although Jock Lewes doesn't use a Bren gun in this series, the real-life Lewes was painted with a Bren gun in 1940 by artist Rex Whistler (1905-1944).

SAS Rogue Heroes is a 2022 BBC drama action series, loosely based on the docu-drama book of the same name by Ben MacIntyre. The show centres on the creation of the Special Air Service by David Stirling (Connor Swindells), Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen), and Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) during the North Africa campaign of the Second World War in 1941-2.
The following weapons were used in the television series SAS Rogue Heroes:
Lt. Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) uses a Beretta M1934 (presumably pilfered from an Italian soldier that he had killed) to shoot holes into a bucket to shower himself.
Lt. Paddy Mayne (Jack O'Connell) has one of these revolvers, likely the .455 Webley variant manufactured for British troops during the First World War.
Various SAS members, including Lewes, Stirling, Mayne, Sgt. Reg Seekings (Theo Barklam-Briggs), and Cpl. Mike Sadler (Tom Glynn-Carney), are seen with Thompson M1928A1 submachine guns.
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk III*, known as the "SMLE" (Short Magazine Lee-Enfield) by the British, is ubiquitous among Allied troops throughout the series. It is also used by Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) at the start of the first episode.
When Lt. Lewes' men raid an Italian artillery encampment at the beginning of the first episode, a British sergeant appropriates their Breda Modello 37 against them.
Lt. Stirling clears a snooker room of its audience by frightening them off with a fake grenade that appears to have been adapted from a Mills Bomb, the standard-issue grenade of British forces during World War II.
