By definition, a Mannlicher style clip for a rimmed cartridge can only be used from one end, due to the arrangement of the rims.
Clips that could feed from either end had to wait for cartridges like the German Commission’s 7.92×57 and the Italian 6.5x52mm.

Well you’re both in error. The Carcano and Commission clips predate the Bittner, so no waiting.
And the Lee Enfield charger isn’t an either-ended Mannlicher clip for rimmed cartriges. The Berthier is, though.

Awfulness prize. LOL
This is obvious from the picture.
Conversation, in fact, about the possibility of creating a “double-sided” clip for brass with a flange.
So new loaded clip could just push the empty clip out?
