Thanks tankhunter for that. Are the pos war, narrower tins only intended for 7.62 Nato rnds and not for use with 7.92 ammo?

Post-war Bundeswher tins are narrower, (And Flimsier!) & will NOT accept 7.92mm Ammo.

Wartime MG dedicated tins for belted ammo, WITH the triangle insert, will have this insert spot welded in place. NOT riveted.
