Check out the straight bolt on the Mauser, a Vz-24 perhaps?

Agreed, VZ24. The 2nd most commonly used bolt action rifle in the Weharmacht.

This is a good example of a posed photo, where the photographer and soldiers are making up a seniero instead of representing actual use of the firearm.

Looking at it closely the gun is rotated almost 180 degrees on the the tripod, the gunner is holding the elevation adjustment bar (that normally attaches to the cross bar on the tripod) as a pistol grip and he has the guns actual pistol grip pressed hard against his shoulder.

Not a ZB-26. It's a French FM 24/29 Châtellerault, German beute nr. 7.5mm leMG116(f). The giveaway is the trigger housing.

Correct!
