I was thumbing through an old copy of a Small Arms Identification guide yesterday, and in the Vietnamese section they had a rifle called a TUL-1, which appeared to be an RPK type rifle based on the Type 56 receiver instead of a purpose built RPK.

The pic in the manual was a very bad photocopy of the original, and fuzzy as hell, and I couldn't make out any details.

Does anyone know anything about this particular type of rifle, or know of any photographic references?

The thing I'm wondering is if the Chinese RPK-type rifles such as the NHM-91 and Polytech Legend RPK are a close approximation of this kind of weapon?

Looks like the Vietnamese just adapted Chinese Type-56's.
