One thing I did in my campaign was to have the BOAR get a lot of the East German's MPAiKS-74N/N (5.56mm) issued out to them, while the German Army mostly used G-36 and G-41 rifles. In either the V1 or V2 timelines, there are a lot of converted AK-74 variants in Germany. Given the truly horrid performance of the L-85, the Brits would have had to get something, and the only rifle available in quantity I could think of were the MPAiKS-74N/N. By 2000, this is the most common rifle in British service.
