Thanks for posting, Jos.

Here is a excerpt of another German list of heavy weapons in October 1944. No ammunition was indeed available.

Nice. Are this data taken from Italian specs or Germans made some tests?

Hi - overall data used in the Dienstvorschriften D50 is both. Actual testing data was used in some cases while most data came from available manufacturer's manuals and technical descriptions. In the case of this equipment, the data probably came from existing manuals or data provided by Italian documents/sources.
