Re: German MGs Id
If they are both the same, then they are Vickers L guns - top cover shows the 5 arch bridge and first pattern larger drum sight. Although impossible to tell, but with the addition of the parabellum type ammo belt 'disc' these .303 Vickers were converted to German standard!! Great photo!!!
Here is the normal L Vickers image.

Re: German MGs Id
See here for both sides of the m/21
http://www.tjelvar.se/vapen/4-139.htm
Looks like the winter picture has been reversed. Bottom picture has the soldier using right hand on grip and trigger. Top uses left hand and yes, he might be lefthanded and not using an m/21

Only an Experimental BAR had the Ejection port on the left side. All other versions had it on the right. The initial image was reversedSturm78 wrote:Hi LineDoggie,

Re: German MGs Id
British .303 Hotchkiss Mk 1 (or Mk 1*) I think - used in WWI tanks and armoured cars, and still standard issue for mounted cavalry units in 1939-41.
