First, you're comparing the empty weight of the BAR to the loaded weight of an FG42. Empty weight of an FG42 according to the link you provided is 4.98 kg. Not sure about how much weight I put in the info on that site you provided because it says the "combat" weight is over 1 kg heavier than the empty weight, and also provides a combat weight of a BAR that I've seen many people source as its empty weight.

The BAR is definitly a heavier weapon with 4" of barrel length. I don't understand where this "practical ROF" comes from either. The practical ROF on the FG42 is its single-shot capability IIRC (if even that), whereas the BAR's is a "slow" auto. Where are we getting that FG42s in weapon slots automatically represent multiple FG42s as well whereas BARs are always single weapons?

The acc value seems a bit off, but really that's the only thing that seems out of place. Furthermore, depending on tactics and employment of the system for what the designers were looking to recreate this could be completely accurate.
