Needs a SWCC boat :)
Yes, they are definitely M240's ( Americanized FN MAG58 GPMG's ), right down to the distinctive buttstock shape with serrations and buttplate swivel stud ; Chris probably made a simple typographical error when he first published this article.
That twin set-up on a common tripod does not appear to be military-issue. There are twin MAG58 mounts for various applications ranging from helicopter-borne through naval and AFV use, but they are configured very differently.
