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)

Depends which reports. I've also seen the M8 called "Kadilak" (Cadillac) due to its engine.

There's a table showing some of the local designations on this page if you're interested (scroll to the end). It's in Serbian, but you'll be able to make sense of it I think:

T-34/76 is mentioned in this book only in a context of trophies of Stuart-armed 1st Tank bde.

You're right, my bad. They were used by the 1st Tank bde. during the last few weeks of the war, but added to the 2nd Tank bde. after the war.

I thought so, that's logical

One last thing - unit 590 (Cetnik AT) is currently available to Partisan formations, which it shouldn't be. This can be resolved by setting it's end date to 8/41.


Explanation:

My first thought was that the unit class was wrong. But it's actually the date that's the issue. If you look at units 591-593 (the other Cetnik units available at that time), you'll see their end date is set to 8/41.

This is because the AI will buy units 590-593 (Cetniks) in the period from 5/41-8/41, after which it exclusively buys Partisans. The Cetnik units in slots 291-297 all appear in 9/41 or later, and are never used by the AI.

Sorry, I got this one wrong, changing the date won't fix it. It's the unit class that's causing the after all because it's the same class as the Partisan AT (class 2).

Unit 590 is just weird because its starting date is actually 9/41 (unlike units 591-593), and the AI doesn't buy it until then... making it appear alongside Partisan units. It thus becomes the only Cetnik unit bought by the AI from 9/41 on, and is available to the human player, under the Partisan AT formation (formation 111) rather than the Cetnik AT formation (formation 112).
