There's a site on the Net SOMEWHERE that lists every small arm used by the Irish Defence Forces during the war by type and quantity; it would be fair to say it was quite a mish-mash!!! IIRC numbers' wise by around 1942-43 the SMLE was by far the most common battle rifle, with of all things the "legendary" WWI Ross Rifle for the LSF coming a close second!!!
