Vickers or Browning in D.XXI in Winter War?

[mirekw]

I have a small question, in what was armed Fokker D.XXI during the Winter War and were 4 guns Vickers 7.9 mm or 4 guns Browning 7.9 mm?

2. What was the rate of machine guns?

3. How many rounds of ammunition loaded into guns?

First seven built in Holland had 7.7 mm Vickers machine guns. Those built in Finland had 7.7 mm Browning mg's. FR-76 had 20 mm Oerlikon wing guns, but they were removed in January-February 1940. (Lentäjän näkökulma II, SIH 3A)

From what I have read and looked photos, I think that there is still remains some doubts about the Dutch built Fokker armament and published dates around the issue.
What puzzles me most is had the Fokker built planes really the mentioned Vickers mg's or not?
If did, were they changed to Brownings, and if so, when?
