This is the same as the Enfield.

With the Enfield you could take the entire magazine off and reload it or just replace the striper clips from the top.

It doesnt matter how you reload it as its down to the guy firing it.

There are different versions, some had a built in mag that could not be removed so you had to reload it from the top. Others have removeable mags.

Its not like you can do both on all of them, some are just top reloaders.

Little excerpt on the enfield magezine

The SMLE is a manually operated, rotating bolt action magazine fed rifle. The Lee-designed SMLE magazine is a first easily distinguishable feature. It holds 10 rounds of ammunition in staggered column form, and while the magazine itself is detachable, it is not intended to be reloaded when detached from rifle. Early Lee-Enfields (Long Lee-Enfields and SMLEs prior to Mark III) were loaded only by single rounds via the top receiver opening. Latter, the clip (charger) loading was introduced, and a rear receiver bridge with charger clip guides was added to the design. Some of the earlier marks were then retrofitted with charger loading ability during the 1907 - 1910. To load the magazine, one must use two standard 5-rounds clips. Loading by loose rounds was still available, but some care must be taken when loading cartridges into clips or in the magazine, due to the rimmed ammunition cases. Prior to the 1916, all SMLEs (and earlier Long Lee-Enfields) were issued with so called "magazine cut-off" - a simple device, located at the right side of the receiver and intended to cut off the cartridge supply from magazine to the action when engaged, so rifle could be used as a single-loader, and ammunition in the magazine could be saved for the hottest moments of combat. This was an outdated idea even when it was first introduced, so it was easily discarded when the need to speed up production arose. The magazine itself should be detached only for cleaning, maintenance and repair, and every rifle was issued with only one magazine. The magazine catch is located inside the triggerguard.

You saw the C96, which loads from stripper clips via the top.

The gun in DOD Source is a modification of the C96 called the M712 Schnellfeuer. It's loaded with detachable box magazines. As far as I know you can load the pistol with stripper clips as long as there is a magazine already inserted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

There was an old C96 custom model released ages ago that had top-loading animations. It's was a sweet little thing.
