Well the standard answer to the types of MGs in the Philippines by 1941 would be as follows:
.30 cal M1917 Browning (water-cooled) .30 Browning Automatic Rifles .30 M1919 (used mostly on M3 and vehicles) .50 Browning MGs (both air and water-cooled) .30 Lewis Light Machineguns Marlin MGs (issued to Phil Army Air Corp ground personnel)
Older weapons that may still be in the arsenal but were not normally issued to the troops would include the M1895 .30 col MG and M1909 Benet Mercier .30 cal MGs. For training there .22 cal MGs.
For the exact numbers, let me see what I can dig up in the "shelf of doom".
