M14's ?

Is this a typo or is it something from a lot further back then 18 years?

While
going through some old files I found this bit of
correspondence with SF NCO from 18 years ago.  I'm
thinking of using this in the place of the canonical Dorsai
organization for my bad guys.
Well now,
let me think. Below is all meat. HQ guys not included (who
would equal about 60 folks altogeter.)

    Squad:

    1 x MAG58 GPMG
    2 x M79
Grenade Launchers (Grenadiers/FT Leaders also have MP5
SMG)
    1
x RPG9 (Grenadier also has MP5 SMG)
    8 x M14 Rifles
    SL x MP5
SMG

       
     ___
       
    |___|SL
       
    |
     
----------------------
     
|        
|          |
   
MAG58     
M79        M79
   
Rifleman   Rifleman   Rifleman
   
RPG9      
Rifleman   Rifleman
   
          
Rifleman   Rifleman

    The advantage of a
twelve man squad is that is can absorb casualties and still
have sufficient balanced firepower to accomplish its
mission.

    Platoon:

    3 x Squads (36)
    1 x
Weapons Squad (14)
       
2 x four man MG teams (MAG58 w/tripod)
       
2 x three man 60 mm Mortar teams.

    1 x PL (MP5)
    1 x PS
(MP5)
    1
x Medic (unarmed)
    2 x RTO (M14)
    2 x
Runners (M14)

    Total Platoon
Strength = 57. Pretty big compared to "modern"
thinking, but lots of ooomph and staying power.
