By that I mean the war between Lon Nol's Khmer Republic and the Khmer Rouge, which I believe was fought from 1970 to 1975.

I was interested in specific models and origins.

That conflict was a grab bag of everything under the sun.

US and Commie weapons would be most common.

Do some realistic research on wars in SE Asia.
Exercise your imagination and cognition.

Just about military weapon ever made was dumped there at one time or another.

I worked with Cambodian irregulars for 18 months in the field.
I saw about everything you could imagine.
I was a weapons collector before my service time and tended to notice various gear.
