Little known is that the 7.62x54Rmm CAN be shot in an M.95 chambered in the M93 O-Patrone (8x50Rmm) WITHOUT a conversion.
In WWI, the 54R was said to be used in the M.95 in emergency situations.
Now, would I try it? eh, probably not. But I can see during war time situations, you'll use what works, and which that, it does.
Although, highly inaccurate as the video demonstrates due to the much smaller .312" boat-tail projectile.
In fact, there was a recent post on Gunboards about it.
