Is this TA48 or Italian T3?

Hi friends, I posted this photo 6 years ago on the forum. Back then I thought it was Zick or Zack torpedo boat, but later realized it should have been the ex-Yugoslav torpedo boat T3, which then became Italian T3, then German TA48 with Croatian crews. While no other photos of TA48 seem to exist, there are some drawings of the boat, which differ from the photo in that the frontal mast is depicted as immediately behind the bridge, making me uncertain about the time of the photo, i.e. was it taken in the German or Italian period, Any ideas? Thank you!

Hello Bertamingo, even if the ships were very similar, this is the Romanian torpedo boat SBORUL, ex Austro-Hungarian 81 T.

Hi Marco, thanks a lot for the help! I forgot the Romanian boats and never thought about that possibility lol.

Best wishes
