I don't think these were the official designations during WW2. Terminology wasn't consistent in any case. I'd probably leave them as-is. |
Maybe not official, but at least they were called so in reports, according to bilingual "Armored units and vehicles in Croatia during WWII Part I" (which I have in scans)
T-34/76 is mentioned in this book only in a context of trophies of Stuart-armed 1st Tank bde.
As for PzKpfw-I, maybe it's best to omit Ausf letters?
To end the subject from my side, I'll quote myself from earlier posts, for consideration:

There is already one ex-Yugoslavian in a Hungarian oob: #137 Drava (available 1/30-4/41), that could be copied, with its weapons. If a speed on water is calculated the same way, it could be faster: 13 knots (24 km/h) = 8 (now 5). Radio should be 90.
There could be also created several others, using Drava as a pattern, retaining AA gun and MG, only changing main artillery, all available 1/30-4/41:
- Vardar: had two 120/L45 and two 120 L/10 guns, 25 km/h
- Sava: had two 120/L35 (not 45) and one 120 L/10 guns, 24 km/h
- Morava: had two 120/L35, 18 km/h.
Icon 706 represents Drava, but it could also serve for others. Maybe Morava can use 708/709, for she was slightly narrower and had single turrets fore and aft (although she had oval stern). If anybody wanted to bother with creating icons, I can upload plans of all.
Croatian navy afterwards used Sava until 9/44 (sunk) and Bosna (former Morava) until 6/44. I don't know when they were commissioned - first they had to be raised and repaired (1942?)

Morava could use 228 icon
