Lee-Enfield SMLE

Lee-Enfield SMLE's are used by the Arabs and British throughout the movie. Turkish soldiers also (incorrectly) use these weapons in several scenes, interchanging with Mausers, presumably depending on what country the scenes were shot in (Jordan, Spain or Morocco) and the availability of the rifles.
