Browning-FN Herstal aircraft machinegun

Hello All,
I saw some weeks ago in a private museum a machine gun which looks at 100% to a .303 Browning used on RAF aircraft. But the manufacturer of this one is FN-Herstal .( Famous Belgium weapons factory), the caliber is 7.62 and a cartridge inside is dated 1940.
The model is with electric ignition. It surely come from a crashed plane in France.
I'am wondering wich type of aircraft used these Mg's ? Belgium planes in 1940 ?
thanks
Granville
