this, where as the Colt Canada SFW barrels have a straight profile with a collar added to give the 203s something to latch onto, like
the one on the bottom here - the top one is a standard C8 with a plain, skinny barrel).
The paratrooper is a British Pathfinder. British soldiers are changing from DPM to a variant of MultiCam they call Multi-Terrain Pattern which you can see
here - matching that in the photograph. The Danish army has no paratroopers and Danish soldiers wear M/84 or M90 Flecktarn style camouflage, like
this. Also the standard issue Danish C8 carbines have skinny barrels that lack a 203 notch/collar entirely. The Danish Jægerkorpset use SFWs but they have a tri-rail gas block instead of a front sight. They did used to use a rifle almost identical to the ones in British service though - but the Danish use the crappy old plastic magazines that Diemaco made. The Pathfinders use the new steel mags from HK - and that's what you see in the photo. The Danish use Elcans and Aimpoints but that rifle has an ACOG.
It's not the
7.62 LMT either - mag is too skinny and curved (the LMT uses straight mags), the fore-end is too short (that's a carbine length, the LMT has a mid-length), the stock and pistol grip are different, and it has a front sight post (the LMT rail system covers a low profile gas block).
