AFAIK Finland was quite short of weapons so why not? BMG was anyway more a suppression weapon and it was important that it fires hail of bullets, no matter how accurately and most of times at relatively short ranges. So let's mount SMG and use HMG on field mount somewhere.
Btw SMGs were planned as main weapon of Czechoslovakian light fortifications in dense spots - where the neigboring pillboxes were just 50-150 meters apart, it was considered adequate replacement for LMG. Unfortunately just few tests were carried out before the Munich.
(And didn't some Italian tank use OVP twin SMG?)
