Please help me identify the following machine guns. One is a Potato Digger and one is a BRITISH 1914 WWI LEWIS GUN, I think . How about the other 2?

CSRG 1915 (Chauchat) and possibly a Hotchkiss 1909.

Agree with most of them. The far gun appears to be a Colt Vickers probably in 30-06, the near gun looks to be a Savage Lewis in 30-06 and a Hotchkiss Portative or similar variant.

For those with an interest in the early US automatic weaponry, you might be interested in "Hatcher's Notebook" (Julian S. Hatcher), good read, chuck full of info. But probably preaching to the choir here...

The Benet-Mercie M1909 is the Hotchkiss Portative in .30-06.
