The rifle in question is either a SMLE Cond Mk II**, a Cond Mk II*** or a Mk I *** with a bridge charger guide fitted, all Royal Navy issue rifles of pre-1915 vintage.
Not sure what "order" they're wearing, but it's not "landing order" that's for sure; nothing but a web belt and respirator.
Are these wearing "landing Order"?

Yes, the haversack(small pack) was part of the kit.
They appear to be wearing 1908 Pattern webbing. The RN used 1908 and 1919 Pattern webbing until WWII when it was gradually replaced with 1937 Pattern webbing.
