Hi again,
Here's some more information on MG151/20 ammunition (quoted via the "Waffen-Revue").

While the MG151/20 ammo usually had a projectile mass/total
cartridge mass of 115g/205g, the older MG/FF's masses were
134g/202g.
Not entirely correct. The MG-FFM fired 115/92g projectiles, just the same as those used in the MG 151/20.
This also misses out the MX-Geschoss, an interesting high-capacity round which came out at the end of the war.
