"Box on the side" could be a Minimi as well.
I recall doing the GPMG as an FCA recruit back in.. oh.. early 1998 or so. Only reason we ever did the TOETs on the Bren was so that we could shoot in the competitions as the Bren was still the inter-unit standard. Otherwise, field exercises and whatnot were GPMG. Now it's possible it was also for convenience's sake as we had the MAGs in the AMLs, so there was some commonality.
