Looks like maybe two tripod legs folded up under the barrel maybe? So might be something re-purposed perhaps. GPMG?

PN,

Ta !.... Only guns I (once) knew were the Vickers "K" (at ITW), and the American (0.300) and British (0.303) Brownings in my Vultee Vengeance.

Learned US Army Arms Drill with the US "Springfield" WWI rifle.

Merry Christmas !

Danny.
