Yes, you are correct.

Quote:
Finnish troops captured over 3,400 Degtjarev M/27 light machineguns during Winter War and during Continuation War (mostly during early part of it) additional some 5,000 more were captured. June of 1944 captured Degtjarev M/27 light machinegun already outnumbered Finnish domestic Lahti-Saloranta M/26 LMG by good 2 : 1 ratio, even Finnish spare-part production and maintenance procedures were organised for this weapon.

By the way the Finnish OOB also has some units with the FM24/29 LMG, but this LMG does not appear to have been used by Finns or if it was it was in very small numbers. Maybe it has been confused with the weapon "099" Chauchat M1915 which was used early on in the Continuation War 1941?

8 mm light machinegun M/15 Chauchat: Finnish use: France "donated" 5,000 during Winter War. They were not issued during Winter War (arrived in January-February of 1940), but during Continuation War some unfortunate Finnish units used them.
