The Argentine's used the same diameter bullet in their Mausers (along with Belgium).

The Brits were very unhappy about that cartridge (7.65x53) during the Falkland Island War. (ca.1982)

Belgium went with the NATO rounds a long time ago, but the Argentinians can't afford to re-equip their military. (I think they are still paying off all the fighter jets they borrowed during that war!)
