First of all, you have no sources to back this up. Secondly, the rounds involved use two different casings, are most likely loaded to different pressures, and cannot be interchanged unless the firearm itself is extensively modified to accept the other round (in this case, 7.62 NATO); modifications including lengthening the magazine well to accept a magazine that takes 7.62 NATO rounds, as the projectile is 51 millimeters long as opposed to 40 millimeters; a 7.62 NATO chamber and bore, and a new bolt to enable extracting and ejecting the spent casing. There may be more but that's the minimum; it's hard to talk specifics when one of the cartridges in question is fictional.

"Ypu can use two different rounds if you swap out the bolt and barrel. Example of this would be the Bushmaster ACR that can fire 5.56mm and 6.8mm."

5.56 NATO and 6.8 SPC rounds are similar in length (45mm and 43mm), and 6.8 SPC weapons are often modified from 5.56 weapons systems (the AR-15, for instance). Thus, this is why you only have to change the bolt and barrel assembly, as well as the magazine, as 6.8 SPC rounds may not feed from 5.56 magazines. 7.62 NATO is much longer than the 9.5mm round used in the BR55 (51mm as opposed to 40mm). As noted above, the weapon requires extensive modification. Think AR-15 and AR-10.
