Phil the SMLE was in use but very likely some NZ regiments still had a few "Long Tom" rifles, such as we see in the photo. The snipers were using SMLE.

Notice also use of the twin bayonets.
Best wishes to all our Kiwi mates they served alongside our troops .
Weird times having Anzac day with not being able to go out but we still will honour them in private.

I've took a second and third look at the photo's and even did a ZOOM and I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "the twin bayonets"by Anderson
The 1888 bayo???

I don't get it too but it appears one fella right has two scabbards?
That's what meant. Both the guy with periscope and guy standing at right seem to have a second scabbard attached by web strap, but is it an entrenching tool?
Naa the two at left are on separate belts
A photo of my wife’s grandfather at Gallipoli possibly when it snowed.
