Re: Italian CV light tank
Some of these are field modifications, not production vehicles. Most of these were done by the forces in east africa which had only a handful of medium tanks. They converted light armor by adding weapons with some AT capacity. Information is hard to come by, the Italian side of the operations in east-africa is hardly the most well documented aspect of ww2. So the lack of mention of these in sources that are based on production models or field modifications in the north african desert shouldn't be taken as proof of non-existence.
Unfortunately I don't have sources available myself on these vehicles.

PS the brixia version was likely just a single model converted in east africa.
