I am 99.99% sure that it's just M249 and M240B - not different versions, entirely different weapons. By this logic the AK-47 is a bigger version of the M4 by way of caliber. If I am wrong, please correct me on the M249B thing, I've been out of the military for 9 years.
That weapon looks identical to the M240B though, and the casings look like 7.62mm. I can't find anything documenting a weapon known as M249B, I think that pic was mislabeled.
Is M249B a thing? You might be confusing it with the 240B (7.62 LMG)

The M249B is the smaller version. It uses the 5.56 rounds. The 240 is larger and uses the 7.76 rounds
7.76 you say?
17.76 mm. Like 20 mm but better.

M249B is not a thing. It's just M249 chambered in 5.56mm and M240 Bravo chambered in 7.62mm.
That's' what I thought. Thanks, pede!
249B is a thing !
