Looking at the Nafziger OOBs

942IQAU Italian Army, Authorized Strength, 75mm/46 Anti-Aircraft or Anti-Tank Artillery Group, June 1942

942IQAV Italian Army, Authorized Strength, 90mm/53 Anti-Aircraft or Anti-Tank Artillery Group, June 1942

I've come to the suspicion that there wheren't any truck-mounted 75/46 guns, but 90/53 guns only (do the math - 4 guns, 1 reserv. tractor, 4 trucks, 1 reserve driver = 10 vs. 4 SP guns, 4 trucks, 2 hv. trucks and 1 reserve driver = 11):

The OOB list per gun section (4 guns):
- 10 Drivers / 5 Tractors & 4 heavy trucks for the 75/46,
but
- 11 Drivers / 4 munition caissons heavy trucks & 2 heavy trucks for the 90/53

I haven't checked all the avalaible pics, but I want to point you (again) to

and

http://www.italie1935-45.com/RE/phot...none90-53.html

... it's pretty obvious that there isn't ONE pic of a truck-mounted 75/46, but several of the Lancia 3Ro 90/53 !!!


There are some pics of a truck-mounted 75/27 CK, though (http://www.italie1935-45.com/RE/phot...nnone75ck.html), which may be the "75mm based on an obsolete WWI gun", which is mentioned on one of the websites I linked somewhere above.


Thanks for your patience.
Again.
