Can anyone identify this weapon?

Here is a video from YouTube showing German soldiers surrendering. Look at the rifle (?) that the tanker is carrying as he climbs down of the Jagpanther, any ideas?

PS:
I always thought they were very mistaken when making those films in the 70's and 80's but take a careful look at the vehicle in the 2nd pic .

Its a german captured halftrack but I really doubt they used patton tanks in the war..
