Brownings only mounted on Unimogs for a very short time as Mount was designed for GPMG and when passed into service the Browning was replaced by the Bren.
Hi there,
Air Corps Brownings were only in .303. They were metal-link-fed fixed mounting guns from scrapped fighters or turret mounts such as the Hudson. I was told once that the Brownings on the Unimogs came with them.

Can anyone tell me what caliber the Browning MG"S in the Landsverk armoured car's were ?
Off the top of my head the armament for the Landsverks was:-
1 X Madsen 20mm AT Gun
2 x Madsen .303 MG's.
In 1974 five of the Lansverk had 1 X 20mm Hispano-Suiza cannon fitted
but was not a great success has the rate of fire was reduced to 600rpm which lead to frequent jamming.
