I make the claim that these changes would greatly improve Italian AT capabilities because there are 32 Italian field pieces that don't have their HEAT ammunition and according to the references I have supplied would mostly move from having no HEAT to getting one third HEAT allocation.
Of the guns that do have their HEAT ammunition it is usually only 4 or 5 shells, a one third increase would increase that to 20 or so dual purpose HEAT shells.

As for 47mm HEAT penetrating being less than the regular AP penetration, true but only up to a certain range. Using weapon 21, 47mm L32 Mod.39 as a representative example this has AP pen of 6 and a HEAT pen of 5. So at ranges up to 200m yes the AP shell is better but from 250 to 550m they are equal and from 600m upwards the HEAT shell outperforms the AP shell. Also best HEAT is 8 and best AP is only 7. So its debatable whether including HEAT would be an improvement or not, and of course many of the 47mm guns in the game already do have their HEAT ammunition anyway. As to wether the change is an improvement or not, we also need to consider that the HEAT shell works against infantry and Armour. ie its dual purpose.

Similar situation for the Japanese, there is at least 6 Japanese guns missing their HEAT ammunition. And many others have a very small HEAT allocation

For units 591 and 712, SMV L.40 47L32, I don't understand why the 47mm gun is in slot 4 If you wanted to give this vehicle HEAT can't the gun just be moved to slot 1?
