Think you are right....

Looks like L85A2s and the dog handler appears to have an L22A2, and all of them appear to be running SUSATs. The SAWs are L110A1s.

You're 99% correct...The L110A1/L108A1 and the M249 and its variants are both based on the FN Minimi design. There are actually quite a few other adaptations of the design in use around the world as well.
