James,
Thanks for your comments. One doesn't have to look very far on MLU to find some truly inspirational restorations. In comparison I view my work quite paltry.
The Italian army post war must of decided that the small wartime clearance and sole brake lights weren't adequate and not only removed them, but also plug welded all the holes that attached them to the fenders.
Got a nice CARE package from Brian Asbury of replacement parts.
