I think I can perhaps shed some light on these. They are cut-down/sawn-off Lee-Enfield rifles which the tunnelers have, no doubt, modified for use in the confined spaces in which they work. Whilst I have come across some discussions over whether such field-modifications were made in reality (revolvers or pistols might have been a better option, but given the ingenuity of some soldiers...), cut-down rifles were mounted on the outside of tanks in the Second World War and used to discharge smoke munitions as you can see from the following image link:

Hope this helps out, I saw the film only last week and dearly enjoyed it, it seems to me that Australian war films seldom put a foot wrong, I have not seen a bad one.
