No idea.
Thought experts here would know.

Family member one of Irish cops in France for celebrations.
This is in an exhibit at that.
He's on duty in St Mère Eglise.
This is where paratrooper got hung up on steeple. There a manikin on the steeple to reconstruct the event.

Apparently great show and a whole tented camp of US troops.

Top one I don't know but looks a strange design, the unit on top is most likely I/F or thermal imaging.

Bottom one is a long barrel H&K MP5 with a tactical scope (Prob 4x zoom used as a general combat weapon) bipod is for show as wouldn't be fitted in normal use. And that picanniny rail is a little OTT

Left one is the upgraded FAMAS rifle (the FELIN system). The scope can transmit an image to a head mounted display. Saves the Frogs from exposing themselves to incoming....
Right one looks like an HK416A5.
