Thank you so much Richard and Michael.

Most of the images and movies depicting Carriers (Universal and Mortar) in italian co-belligerent units show Mk1s. Mk2s are rarest but also appear, mostly in service with Legnano Combat Group. For some reason the WD number is displayed on the lower hull of these carriers.

Unfortunately I do not have Nigel's beautiful books and for my research I had to rely on a list of british WD numbers found on the net.

Encouraged by Michael's post I tried to read the WD number of the second carrier better, working on the original photo. It seems that the first digits are 2-2-8 and therefore also the second carrier could be a Wolseley MK2 Mortar. This is what i obtained from the original photo:
