hey everyone, just realized I posted on the wrong forum. My main question here is, does anyone know which MG ring I need to use for the German ISAF pzh 2000? I got the older meng kit, without the hedgehog armor. Meng just provided an option to use the full circular one and the semi circular one, without mentioning which ring is for the German version and which is the Dutch version. The reference photos didn't specify either. Thanks again for your help everyone

It's all the same ... semi circular (segment folded back) enables the crew to open and shut the hatch.
When the hatch is opened the "missing" piece is folded or slid into circular position enabled the MG to fully swing around.
Maybe this helps to understand that the circle has a section which has to be folded back into a position to closed the hatch again.
Looking closely you will see the gab in the ring.
