Is this possibly what you are looking for: the Italian Army Croat Legion Badge? It was apparently worn by the approximate 800 members of the Croat Legion raised in the winter of 1941-1942 and trained at Riva for service in Russia. Per Orders, Decorations, Medals and Badges of the Third Reich – Volume 2 (R. James Publishing, Mountain View, California, 1973) by David Littlejohn and C.M. Dodkins:

“In March 1942, it was attached to the Italian 8th Army as the 'Legione Croata Autotransportabile 88' (Croat Motorized Legion 88). It served, in Italian uniform and under Italian command, on the Don front but it was virtually annihilated at Kasanskaya (approximately halfway between Stalingrad and Voronezh).”

The badge had “Legione Croata” in Italian and "Hrvatska Legjia” in Serbo-Croat inscribed at the top and the mottos “Per l’Italia alala” and “Za Dom spremni” in the respective languages diagonally across the center. The Italian and Croat shields are joined by climbing ropes symbolic of the fact that the Croat Legion served under the Italian Alpine Corps.

In Italian " sul campo" means " on the battlefield" and this sentence was used to indicate that the award has been given just "sul campo" at the end of the battle and not issued by burocratic ways after a lot of time.

In all my info that I was able to find award was named sul campo,so probably it will never be revealed what was the real name of award that legion got.
Thank you Valsente for info, your answer cleared why my search through web was futile.
