-The DP was also be used as vehicle mounts under the variations ''[[DA (7.62 mm)|DA]]'' for aircraft mounts, and '''DT''' for tank mounts (alongside the modernised ''DTM''). These variants were notable for their removed barrel shroud for a heavy barrel, different stock design (the DT would have a collapsible stock), and a redesigned magazine that was smaller in width, but taller in height to reduce the weapon's width for mounting within a constrained vehicle space.<ref name="Popenker_Degtyarov"/><ref name="ForgottenWeapons_DTM">McCollum 2011c</ref>

 After World War II, the Soviet decide to replace the cumbersome pan-magazine on the DP with a belt-fed system. The DP machine gun was modified once again in 1946 with an add-on module that converts a DP to be able to take an ammunition belt from the [[SGMT (7.62 mm)|SG-43/SGM]] machine gun.<ref name="ForgottenWeapons_RP46">McCollum 2011d</ref> This modification was adopted as the ''[[RP-46 (7.62 mm)|RP-46]]'' (''Rotnyj Pulemet'' (Company Machine Gun), 1946). The machine gun would remain in use in the Soviet military until supplemented by the universal [[PKT_(7.62_mm)|PK machine gun]].<ref name="Popenker_Degtyarov"/>
