Machine Guns

Browning Automatic Rifle

The early version of the Browning Automatic Rifle is used by Nationalist patrolling the forest and one is taken by Robert Jordan (Gary Cooper). Robert refers to the magazines as "clips" showing that this mistake was prominent even back then.

Browning M1919A4

A Browning M1919A4 is seen mounted on a Nationalist tank. They are also presumably mounted on M1917 Six Ton Tanks. An odd choice considering WWII was going on at the time and all M1919A4s would have been in military use rather then loaned to movie armorers.
