Interesting. Could that be a prototype for the MG08/15?

The DWM 1901 made for the Bulgarians had a slide on style bracket, common to a number of other pre-WWI and WWI MMGs and HMGs, that accepted a stock. Looks like this setup has a pistol grip as well, with the stock set into the space between the spade grips. can't seem uch else that indicate sho it is attached, etc. I recall seeing another stocked MG08 type HMG pictures somewhere but I can't find it.
