Most Probably an MG 3, the moderized version of the MG42, chambered in 7.62 NATO.

No pic showing.

The use of MG42 didn't end with the Third Reich. The design went on to serve in number armies post WWII.

It is a MG42/59...manufactured under license in Pakistan of all places...
Basically a MG42 with the bore changed to 7.62

You're looking at the wrong gun in the picture...

yep...still in service today. Only the bore has changed and the rate of fire was actually slowed down a bit. The also improved the barrel changing mechanism so that the barrels can be swapped without gloves.....

So why would you post that you do not know what the third one is, when the question is about the third one. That makes total sense, oh wait you are just a bit of a numpty. You failed to actually read the original post.

Yet again Chris you fail to read what is plainly in front of you.
