I'm pretty sure that is He 111P 5J+CN wich is in Gardermoen, if I'm right this plane wasn't raised but salvaged by helicopter from the mountains near Lesja.

Anyhow; I thought the whole purpose of that kind of MG-magazine was to collect all the spent cartrigdes in the right half? Having lots of empty cartrigdes flying around in the gondola while firing the gun must be very distracting for the gunner?
