According to the Myrvang book, this gun (MG 42) was made in 1943 by Maget. The two digit year code was introduced in 1943 and each manufacturer used different letters for the year of production:

MAGET

cra 1942
cra 1943
cra GH (1943)
cra NC (1944)
swd NC (1945)

GUSTLOFF-WERK, SUHL

dfb 1943
dfb FG (1943)
dfb MU (1944)
svq SM (1945)

MAUSER WERK, BORSIGWALDE

ar JT (1943)
ar DF (1944)
dd DF (1945)

Some manufacturers had guns marked 1943 and later two digit letter codes in 1943. On page 447 of the Myrvang book is a breakdown by serial number showing what guns had a number and what ones had letter codes for the date.
