In fact, it's the only page I was able to find that uses the HS.30 nomenclature.

Check the contemporary spiegel.de source (that article is from '67) and you'll find "HS 30" ... and in '67, their research and investigation was lots better than today, so I'm pretty sure that they didn't botch the vehicles name right on the front page of their weekly issue

That dot might come from (spanish?) documents from Hispano-Suiza (HS) - all their guns seem to have that dot in their name, and some of their cars, too.
