Right, they can all be converted to 7,92x57 or vice versa to 7,62x51.

Right, but putting a 7,92 barrel in and a feeding tray, it will run 8mm Mauser. The receiver and the bolt will handle both. Sometimes the muzzle has to be changed but it depends on the individual gun. So the MG42 plattform, if you want to call it that, can shoot both 7,62 and 8mm Mauser with very little changes.

Yes, at first I only had the gun sight, muzzle and the spring in mind, but as a platform with the big chamber there are plenty of options. There is also a concersion kit to shoot the Red army 7,62x39.
