Just a few comments to Pibwl's suggestions.

I've just checked - they did indeed have 8mm MGs.

021 65mm Mtn Gun - I don't know which gun it is, but a photo is used for Russian 76 mm FG - more appropriate for a mountain gun is eg. 23043

The gun in question was apparently originally a "French Puteaux" Whether it was modified by the Yugoslavs I'm unsure.

054 75mm Inf Gun - I don't know Yugoslavian artillery, but Chamberlain's Light and Medium Field Artillery credits Yugoslavia with several models of 76 mm Skoda guns, known there as 80 mm guns, so maybe it should be this caliber.
The picture is very similar to M.5/8 gun, which had a rage of 7 km, so a range of 152 of weapon #34 would roughly fit.
The weapon 34 is marked as 75mm M1928, but M.28 was a Yugoslavian modern 76mm Skoda field gun, with a range of 13.1 km (unless there were other M.28 guns). So maybe it should be M.5/8 gun?

I think you're right, some partisan reports do mention "M.5/8 guns" later in the war.

056 122mm Howitzer (M.10/30) - picture is 122 mm cannon - correct is 23182 (used in Soviet OOB).
But maybe this unit should be rather Soviet newer standard M-30 howitzer? (Soviet unit 370, but with a split tail icon, eg.59, like in German oob)

Same for #67 122mm Platoon

This is correct. Yugoslavs called it "M1938 howitzer", but it's the same thing.

064 85mm AT-Gun - I don't think, that newest Russian gun (commissioned in 1946) was used in Yugoslavia. It isn't even available in Russian OOB. Besides, picture is 122mm howitzer.

Correct.

071 20mm AA Gun - is it Italian Breda? If so, a picture should be eg. 30150 - now it's German flak.

Yes, they had Italian Bredas.

133,134 76mm Field Gun - Skoda FG, picture is used for Russian Putilov. Correct picture for M.5/8 Skoda gun (or very similar) is 20070.
According to Chamberlain, it was known in Yugoslavia as 80 mm gun.

Not sure about the "80mm" bit, I'll try to check tomorrow at the library.

143 47mm AT-Gun - photo is German 37 mm. If it is Czechoslovak gun, that it can be 22211

Yes, it is the Czechoslovak gun.

165 75mm Pack Hwtzr - since it is used from 3/44, isn't it US M1 howitzer? Then, correct pic is 32150, icon = 2111 (single-tail), range should be 164 like in US oob (178)

This is correct.

Well researched, sir!
