A question:

Where the US forces in germany equiped with the M42 Duster? And does someone have a source of pictures for that to show what version, what muzzle breaks etc?

Thanks in advance

It seems that pics are rather rare ...

This one had apparently received a special paint scheme for display during an open house at Daley Barracks (Bad Kissingen) :
