part of a belt

[DrLanz]

I’m trying to identify this part of a machinegun belt. As I found it in the estate of a Belgian pilot, I’m wondering if this could be part of a 12.7 mm belt of the Fiat CR42? Any one an idea?

It is a link 12,7x81SR for the Breda SAFAT Aircraft machine gun.

Thanks a lot, the Fiat CR 42, had that type of MG. What type of amution was used with this belt?

Thanks a lot, hope I can find one of these to complete the belt.

Who is 'MB'?. I always thought that was British manufacturer.

I have only seen 12.7mm Italian link with 'Innocenti'.
