The seized firearm, a Browning M1919A4, is a water-cooled, belt-fed machine gun first produced between 1919 and 1945. It was commonly used by the U.S. armed forces in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War....

Robe, your pix... is a Browning M1917, truly a water-cooled, belt-fed machine gun that was the predecessor of the M1919

I think the perspective in their dark, grainy photo makes the barrel shroud look fat and hides the holes in it, almost like an M1917 water-cooled Browning as is in your image. But you’re right, if they did size an M1919, it’s air-cooled.
