Burning white phosphorus (WP) releases a thick white smoke (P2O5 reacting with water in the air). So if there is no dense, white smoke, it can not be WP.

Could this be illumination rounds then? Would explain how the forest isn't actually on fire, the lack of smoke, and the non-chalantness of the video.

No, those are incendiary rounds, there just isn't much left to burn at this point. It looks amazing for a minute and then it is burned up.
