The right one is definitely a fake. The left one "DF dd" is hard to tell because the picture quality is really poor. Some more pictures in a better quality would be helpful. A lot of "DF dd" fakes were produced...

Yes, all 5 DF dd MG42s are remarked Yugo M53s. I´ve got a lot of well known fakes in my database.

This type is really rare, I have observed about ~25 pieces and they had all 4 digit serial numbers. These were all from Yugoslavia and in the origin inventory lists they were all listed as MG42 and not as M53. A lot of the parts were from ww2 but the receivers were all m53 replacement receivers without the typical markings.

Another interesting M53 variant is the F-serial number variant without the typical Yugoslavian markings, also on the cover.

I have this from PC (MG is in another town and I am in quarantine). Ciao

It´s hard to tell from this one picture if the MG42 is origin or not. Some pictures from the receiver details would be helpful, see here:

I add an old pdf-file. It´s old, so not all data is up to date and it is in German. When I´ve got more time I will update this filoe and translate it.
