Done some further research. Only the San Marco marine infantry have the C90etc, though couldn't find since when. They use it as light support weapon, together with the Panzerfaust 3.
It seems C90 was also evaluated for some time by Col Moschin Commando Battalion and Comsubin. Col Moschin then turned it off for the more powerful Panzerfaust 3 which is the standard AT infantry weapon today.

Also 500 french APILAS were bought for evaluation before PzF 3 adoption, and used to exhaustion by Folgore and some motorized infantry. I don't think this is worth to be entered in the oob, but just in case.
***
VBC wheeled infantry vehicle (units 041-078-089-200) is going to enter service in the next months. I'm still trying to find in which versions. Stay tuned.

Everything ok with the Mangusta? (above post)
regards
