The general dimensions of the .50 is the same from then till now.
The .30 baby brother was in service in recent memory with a 7.62 flavor and called just the GPMG or C5.
It was a crew served weapon; so you had a 2 man team at the platoon level. It had no safey, no trigger guard and you would slip a regular C1 sling over the pistol grip at the rear and the barrel jacket a the front if you were going on a patrol. #1 had the gun and #2 had the tripod and ammo cans.
Just for fun you'd also carry your C1 rifle as a secondary.
