Great shots! Not heard of the Fiat 3000B with twin 37mm before (or any tank with twin guns other than Gs come to that), Any one with any more information/sources? I had previously thought they were armed with twin MGs OR a single 37mm L/40 gun. Thanks in advance.

Third picture also on Sicily shows a Caro Commando per Semovente in M14-41 chassis in front. It is armed with 13,2mm Breda Model 31 MG and 8mm Breda Model AA-MG in turret opening. The other four tanks are (I believe) normal M14-41 tanks. From exp. ebay.
