Yes, they go into the throat where the projectile goes so the can build enough pressure to cycle the action
The M60 I used was the door mounted on a UH-1H helicopter and I more than once lost the barrel when I cock the gun and forgot to lock the barrel in. We used the same type of belt with the minigun but longer 6000 round belt. It only lasted 1 minute at full speed.

It looks like part of a belt for a BAR with 30-06 blanks
The BAR used a box magazine, NOT any sort of a belt.

Blank machine gun ammo. 'Nato' / 7.62 / .308 caliber disintergrating link belt maybe for a Viet Nam era M-60 SAW
Very very close
Link belted 7.62 nato machine-gun blanks, the links are ejected as the cartridge is load into the chamber.
I have had these for over 50 years, but can't remember where I got them.
Goodness Gracious you grade HARD! I'm glad I never had any sort of class with you as the teacher.
Every point you make, I've made too - and you give me a 'very very close' as the 'grade?' What would I have needed to add to get an 'absolutely correct?'
I did leave out the x51mm from the description of the 7.62 NATO round and the M13 from the disintegrating belt description.

WILEY T. MOORE’S BELT-FED BAR
In December 1933, Wiley T. Moore patented his design to convert the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle into a belt-fed light machine gun. Moore designed the weapon while based at the United States Army Air Corps’ research and development center and armourer training facility at Wright Field, Ohio.

Here's a excerpt from this article: https://www.historicalfirearms.info/post/157121981449/wiley-t-moores-belt-fed-bar-in-december-1933
". . . Moore’s BAR conversion was not adopted either, it is unclear if the design was formally tested. In 1934 the US Army Ordnance Corps had evaluated and apparently rejected Moore’s T12 Light Machine Gun. . . "
Please follow the link for the entire article.
And, as others have stated, the items pictured in the OP are a different caliber, that is, 7.62mm 'NATO' and the BAR is chambered for .30-06 ammunition.

I'm well aware that the BAR was chambered in 30-06.
I worked with a guy that carried a BAR in WW2 in Germany. He told me that the black market was robbing the supply trains. He was selected to guard the supply train and I was told that while he was on the train guarding he would use a belt fed BAR on those trips and not his standard duty BAR.
