well used g43 ...

El Guettar seems unlikely as it occurred in Spring, '43.

This is almost certainly somewhere in the east, probably postwar relic hunters? The Soviet fragmentation grenades are a good indicator.
 
Metal looks pretty well preserved.. especially the helmets... could it have come from a bog? Like they pulled out basically working tanks?

Also, is that a Degtyaryov machine gun? I see the drum and the trigger guard looks similar. Also, is that Erkennungsmarken to the left of the spoon.

What a score.

I think it is a DTM that had presumably been dismounted before loss. It looks like a DT pistol grip on the lower receiver/stock assembly and the fatter DT drum magazine.

Either way, great photo.
