The IJA as far as I know based on a few years reading is they had a similar feed for their 7.7 HMG like the Hotchkiss which may explain the marks on them Bruce as I am looking at a Hotchkiss tray I have did they change the feed system to link for the IJN or stayed with the trays......?.
Also allot of the Japanese ammo bears no H/S and can have a 3 crimp pattern on the primer thats what my 6.5 Arisakarounds have.
Pics would be nice BIO when you can bloke...
