Yes Rigby - I have this type which is why the fixed ones had me stumped!
I was fairly sure they were Grerman.
Why did they have such a variety of belts/links for the same weapons?
Must have cost a lot regarding the machining of the weapon parts as the mechanism between disintegrating & fixed is major.
