BNZ is the code for Steyer .

i think it was made by Steyer in early 1943.
the font on the stamping looks odd but i have 2 CRA stamped ones and they may have just used a different font at steyer.

I have Folke Myrvang's book in front of me and on page 135 it shows pictures of 2 BNZ marked MG42's, one dated 1943 is the same thin/light stamping like yours the other is 1942 dated with a heavier/thicker stamping, but both are "M.G. 42"
Hope this helps.
