    unless things have changed recently , neither the Herrick or the Roumanian are service rifle matches. The trophy they are holding is for High Reserve component in those matches which the team normally shot using match rifles.
    Also I would take a look at the picture you have posted of the young female soldier with the SAW.
    None of this is intended to be posted, just trying to be helpful
