It would be interesting to find out how they got there and who they were meant for.

The more interesting question is where are they getting 7.92x33mm ammo to feed it?

According to the internet, they still manufacture the ammunition in Serbia and Lebanon. Many of the captured rifles were sold by East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Russia, to Arab and African countries or insurgents.
