The only markings found on the Water Cooled version of the MG 15 to substantiate this is the stamping found on the French made Barrel front bushing which is stamped " Mitr.Rhn.7.9mm" which is abbreviation for "Mitrailleur Rheinmetal" and the German caliber of 7.92 X 57mm.
Mitrailleur is French for Machine Gun and Rheinmetal-Borsig was the German Corporation that had originally supplied the "St 61" MG 15 Machine Gun Contract to Romania.
