Hagelin C-362

The Hagelin C-362  has some improvements over the C-36 design which brings the machine closer to a C38/ M209 but perhaps not as strong. Here are some differences:

C36:  Fixed lugs on the bars around the cage.
C362: Lugs resemble those on the M209 and they are movable.

C36:  Handle/crank is shiny, curvy and compact. Might be chrome plated.
C362: Longer handle with swing-out part to fit in the hand.

C36:  Two small, 'Yale-type' keys were standard issue with the machine.
C362:  Keys are of the later 'security type' with the ' + ' profile.

C36:  Can have outer paint as reddish (Naval finish). Inside finish is black.
C362:  A standard green drab finish seems to be common.
