Italian OOB at Derna Jan 1941?

Hello,

Does anyone have any info about Italian units fighting under Gen Bergonzoli at Derna during operation COMPASS? So far I have found pretty confusing info. One of the Australian web sites says about bersaglieri regiment, my Polish sources say about remnants of Sabratha division, while somewhere else I have found Italian paratroopers.

Can anyone help with this riddle?

Thanks, Peter

And just to make it correct, on the opposite site there was Australian 19th Brigade? Under Brig Robertson?
