Ah ha! My Google search was probably different from yours, but I found this site:
http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_253.shtml
On "Syria's Fighting Texans" that claims it was a "pair of Browning .505 machine guns".
I hope this helps. Can't wait to see a Syrian Harvard (or Texan) built on this site!
