CoH Wehrmacht MG42 crew in CoH2 bug or feature?

So we were playing with the Wikinger mod today and I noticed this oddly familiar blue looking MG42 crew and when I zoomed in I couldn't believe my eyes at first but when I looked at them for longer they looked exactly like the Wehrmacht MG42 crew from the original game:

And here is the original MG42 crew, albeit maybe not the best picture but it's the biggest resolution one I could find at the moment:

So my question is how is it possible exactly, is it a bug or some sort of new hidden feature? I just checked and the new OKW MG crew models/skins aren't the same as these for sure and I've never seen any blue like uniforms in this game before.

These models are leftovers from vCoH, like the concrete bunker. With the right tweaks in the 'AnimationBluePrint' file they work smooth.

Ah, thank you for the quick answer then.

However I have another question now, is it possible to give the Osttruppen models helmets then or to transfer their backpack gear onto other models like the gun crews using this method or something similiar?

The .abp file contains only a set of animations. It is not possible to edit visual models unfortunately.
