From the MG34 expert. Yes, he still is alive. LOL
"That is fairly common. In 1942 and 1943 when the MG42 was coming into production a lot of the inventory and manufacturing machines of the MG34 were shipped to Brunn. They continued the MG34 program almost exclusivly through the end of the war. I have seen DOT shrouds with many different companies markings on them. "

From what Ryan said, I get that Mauser made it but then when they switched to manufacturing the MG42, inventory that was waiting to be assembled was shipped to Brunn.
