The pistol on the top isn't a flintlock. Note the bulged part under the lock, which is a typical sign of a wheelock firearms. Despite the shot is a darked, the wheel and the dog can be seen. A less important sign is the shape of a trigger guard, which is similar the shape of the gun image under this screenshot.

I don't think that these guesses can be proved or declined. Springfield rifles are rarely seen outside America, and they have no chance to appear in Soviet Moldovan movie. Pattern 1856 rifles were mostly converted into Krnka rifles, so original guns of this model are very rare. No.3 is possibly a Cossack or "Circassian" musket, of North Caucasus origin. No. 8 looks more like a kind of cavalry carbine. Anyway it's all very vague, so better leave them unidentified. Greg-Z (talk) 08:56, 12 August 2018 (EDT)
