Is it possible to do a few comparison shots between an AK and the 7.62x39 round and the StG?

7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge is the fourth from the left.
.30 M1 Carbine cartridge is third from the left.

What's the one on the far right, beside the 5.45x39mm?

Edit:
L to R, it looks to me like:

6.5x55mm, 7.62 NATO, .30 Carbine, 7.92x33mm, 7.62x39mm, 7.62x45mm, ???, 5.56x45mm, 5.45x39mm. ???

My MP44 has a right and a left sling swivel attached to the gas block now according to the sturmgewehr book they experimented with the idea on an MP43 but no documents have been found .the swivel on mine looks original as it's the same finish as the rest of the rifle ... maybe someone else has the seen the same thing .the rifle is not a RC or VOL-POL .I am just curious I don't think I have some sort of one off like in the book .
