Leicas in movies

In "Baader Meinhof Komplex", a journalist uses a Leica in one scene where they added a loud SLR sound whenever he takes a photo.
Is it possible, that sound engineers always use the same camera sound in films?
 
In the Belly of an Architect filmed by Peter Greenaway, a female reporter shots the Rome's Colloseum with a leica M3!
 
LAst night saw this Christmas' chanel advert on telly and the lady takes a pic with a digital M at the end. I'd guess it's an M9 being product placed.

Michael Mann's "Ali" is a fest of vintage equipment, especially the extended fight sequence early in the film showing Cassius Clay (as Ali originally was known) beating Sonny Liston. I haven't seen it in awhile but I vaguely recall seeing a Nikon F2 a few years ahead of its time in among the press cameras.
