mg 42 marking

Hi

Is the marking above a German WW2 marking or a post war Yougoslavian marking?

Thanks in advance!

I also found a same marking, but with a 10 in it.

Your marking is typical for the post war Yugo MG53. But there also exist German square markings with numbers. The difference is that the "German" square stands on the corner. You can see such a marking on the attached photo.

Best regards,
