I recently saw a WWII photo of a formation of Coast Guard personnel. The were in ranks on a pier and had a jeep mounted Colt machine gun. I'll see if I can run that one down. As I recall they had some other obsolete infantry arms as well. maybe some Krags.

This the one?

Focus on the MG’s manned by the men standing in the backs of the Jeeps. Those are M1895 Colt machine guns from the Spanish-American war era! They also look like they’re mounted on either camera or optic tripods. I know the home front dealt with older equipment but I wouldn’t have believed this if I wasn’t looking at the photo of it!
