? 7.92mm MG42 links?

hi, is there's anyone there? ie, not all at the War & Peace show, I wonder if someone can identify these links. I assume that they are 7.92 as they accept that calibre. They are marked with an R within a circle which I assume to be Rheinmetall. These are similar to WW2 German aircraft links but do not have the straight steel pins that hold those links together. They are also similar to MG42 links other than that these do not have coiled steel pins that hold them together. These link together in the same way as, say, MG151 aircraft links do. Any thoughts?

many thanks, Dave
