The CT-style full loop belt grooves (allows the use of polymer links), on the TV-style case warrants serious investigation as a possibility for True Velocity, I wonder if they're aware of the concept to begin with

Why is the right cartridge labeled "6mm ARC" when the bullet is of the same diameter as that of the 5.56mm Mk262?

Using full-loop polymer links does not seem feasible for machine guns that shoot TV ammo.

I guess the Photoshop operator had no idea that Mk262 has a smaller bullet diameter. For purely aesthetic reasons, he chose to give all bullets the same diameter. Clueless marketing people did not see any mistake. Engineers/technicians were of course not in the loop.

Well, the "photoshop operator" is probably the one that gives us the superb 3D mechanical rendering of the Textron NGSW weapon (among other things), so I think that this guy knows what he was doing.
EDIT: I think he is even on this forum.

That cartridge isn't even remotely like 6mm ARC, which is fatter than 5.56 and has a much shorter case.

Then how do you explain him showing a "6mm" projectile the same diameter as a 5.56mm bullet?

Just to note - I pulled up the image in an online photo editor and, as near as I can tell, the 5.56mm bullet is 47 pixels wide, while the "6mm" bullet is 51 pixels.
51/47*5.56 is slightly more than 6.03
