Actually the MG17 based on the Swiss Solothurn MG2-200 which was a German Development and built in Switzerland. The MG2-200 was the development basis for the future Development of the MG 17 and the MG 34.
The MG 42 was a complete new development only to use the same standard German 8x57IS round from those days.
