I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I will try to restate.
CV-35 LF (unit 61) italian oob34:
Only one of the Twin 8mm MG (
weapon 222, the left one) was removed and replaced by a Flamethrower (
weapon 108).
So the CV-35 LF should retain one 8mm MG, but with less munition becouse the room occupied by the flamethrower stuff (about 240 round less).
In summary the overall HE KILL should be decreased beacuse the single MG, but the ammos, although less, should be enough for more shots compared to the twin version.
Also the CV-33 had a Flamethrower version.
CV-33(unit 002) & CV-35(unit 060) italian oob34:
The CV-33 mount a twin 6.5mm in winSPWW2 (
weapon 227), but only the very first version mounted a (single) FIAT 6.5mm mod.14 MG (
weapon 218,like the
CV-29, unit 001).
Soon (in 1934) it was replaced by twin 8mm:
-FIAT mod.35 (
weapon ???,ROF 450round/min, ~2400 rounds, effective range 1000m, 750m/s mv) or
-Breda mod.38 (
weapon 222, ROF 450round/min, ~3200 rounds, effective range 500m, 775m/s mv)
The Breda model start to replace the Fiat from 1939 (but the replacement were not fully completed)
CV-33(20) unit032, italian oob34:
Some CV-33 and CV-35 had "one" (by Pignato, "both" by other sources) of the MG replaced by The Solothurn 20mm (
weapon 141).
Corrige: Actually the Solothurn replace
both the MG
or is mounted externally and so the MGs are
untouched.
The AP capability is controversial, but should be different from the winSPWW2 value:
- 41mm@100m and 18mm@300m (by Pignato)
- 35mm@300m (probably a mistake: 300ft~100m)
see here for example:

Probably AP 4 is not far from the reality for point blank (instead 3).
