Since then I was wondering what type are the mororcycles, and if they saw a wider use in the Romanian army. Were they in use with the motor recon group (squads) of the army divisions? https://imageshack.com/my/images This post has been edited by Agarici on June 22, 2015 10:08 pm

You know more about uniforms then me, but aren't the soldiers rather members of the border-guards regiments, which then formed the 2nd Guards Division? The MG's seems to be ZB 30, I'm not aware of other LMG model in use by that time. Other oppinions?
