However, while including these tanks may be correct from a "realism" standpoint (after all, the Germans employed over 700 of them, plus 200 or so armoured cars), the fact is that they can be represented by taking "allies" from spob04, leaving more room for "real" German vehicles.

The irony in this suggestion, while certainly practical, is that the Germans seized pretty much all even remotely modern AFVs and nearly all new production vehicles from the Italians and the
RSI army was left with scraps only. So, the RSI OOB4 actually has vehicles which were used
only by the Germans like the
M.43 75/46 and
M.43 105/25 (which was used briefly by the
Regio Esercito before the armistice, but the Germans confiscated all, including later new production vehicles).
