Ammo load out for RPD gunner

Anyone know what the ammo load out (rounds carried) by an RPD gunner serving in the Soviet Army (or even a another Warsaw Pact Army) would have been? Subject came up while looking at a friend's DSA RPD clone.

Five drums. Four carried and one in the rifle. Everything you seek is in the link below.
