Romanian AK "Romak 223"(??)

• Not 100% sure, but Al's rifle during a desert battle looks to be a Romanian Romak .223 AK Rifle. However it doesn't have the bulged wooden front hand guards and it has a threaded barrel (indicated by the muzzle nut and muzzle nut pin). Anyone else knows for sure, please let me know.
