You are right it read in that site I quoted from earlier also.

- 7,5 mm light machinegun M/24-29 Chatellerault (Fusil Mitrailleur mle 1924/29): This light machinegun was the weapon that the French introduced to replace Chauchat M/15. It was chambered for new French standard military cartridge 7,5 mm x 54. During Winter War France donated 100 M/24-29 light machineguns, which arrived too late to see any action in that war. Not that they would have seen any battle use with the Finnish military later either - during Continuation War they were issued to home front troops. Some 60 were wrecked in 1944, the remaining ones were sold to Interarmco in 1960.
