Hello Charles,

Seeing the pilbox hats I am pretty sure they are British dayak troops.
The firearms are not known to me. They don't look like Lee Enfield/SMLE.
More like some kind of lever action rifle

(I am adding a postcard from the 1930's depicting britisch dyak troops, unfortunately these chaps are in regulation dress.)
