Mystery photo - Operation MANTA in Tchad

I came across some nice photos from Operation Manta in Tchad on the CHEMIN DE MEMOIRE DES PARACHUTISTES site. The thread and all of the photos can be seen by clicking here.

 Two of the photos show heavily equipped M201 jeeps.

 

Several details stand out in the second photo.

  • Side mounted jerry can though it is not a MILAN.

  • Wire cutter on the front bumper.

  • Camo net holder attached to the spare wheel is being used to carry a bag

  • The camouflage pattern which is very effective but hand painted including the aerial insulator.

  • Lamp mounted between the seats from the dashboard

All of this is very interesting detail but what really needs some explanation are the Russian weapons. I'm not an expert but there's a Kalashnicov AK-47 in the back and beside the jerry can and an RPK light machine gun on the bonnet.

The photos were posted by an anonymous guest on the website so I can anyone else offer an explanation?
Are they captured weapons displayed on the jeep for a photo perhaps?
