Rifle question

This is admittedly not an important topic, but I'm trying to find out a certain type of rifle that was used in a movie. There's a movie called "Southern Comfort" made in 1981 starring Keith Carradine, Peter Coyote, Powers Boothe, Fred Ward. It's a really good movie about a squad of Louisiana National Guardsmen that get lost in the swamps of Louisiana and end up in a running gun battle with some local Cajun hunters that one of the Guardsman fires a bunch of blanks at as a joke.

Anyway, the rifles the Cajun hunters use in this movie are fascinating. They look to have a hexagonal or maybe octagonal barrel and look to be single shot, breech loaded with maybe a 45.70 round or something similar. Anyway, I've been looking around and can't find any credits from the movies indicating what types of rifles they used. I know it's a long shot but thought I'd ask here and see if anyone has seen the movie and might recognize what kind of rifles they used. Thanks.

All could be had with octagon barrels.
