I've been wondering the same thing. Normally rebel and resistance forces use the same equipment as the forces they broke out of and are fighting against. Although if they follow the Geneva convention they paint over the identify markings and apply their own... What they don't do is design an entire line of weaponry and equipment that is exactly identical to the original ones in function but look very different.

Not to mention the logistical nightmare of having six or seven different carbines instead of just one. That means producing and distributing six different sets of spare parts to every base of operations wherever your troops are.
