Advocating two different loads -- heavy ball for machine guns and light ball for carbines -- is a nice theory, but the reality is that nearly all the world's armies (China being a notable exception with the 5.8x42) use only one loading for carbines and LMGs.
IMO, any proposal for the use of two loads is a non-starter.
