Besides all the sadness this is a very interesting assorment of weapons.
Interestingly many old weapons remain in service, including the FAL and Carcano rifles. This is an old Beretta M951, the single stack predecessor of the current M92 (US M9) series.

However, you wouldn't expect a mercenary to write "MERC" as profession in his passport...
AFAIK there are no other Beretta model lines between the M951 and M92. Well there is the 80 series, but that went into production at the same time as the first M92. The M81, M84 and M92 were all introduced in 1976. The M34 is older than M951 and the Cougar series is newer than M92.
