The title compound, C8H18N4O22+·2Cl-, contains two oxime groups. The methyl oxime group has a Z configuration, and the ethyl oxime group is disordered, with both Z and E configurations in occupancies of 0.840 (8) and 0.160 (8), respectively. In the crystal structure, there are a number of N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds.
