The italian magazine "storia & bataglie" (not sure, if I am spellng it correct) showed once side-drawings of many various types of portees in italian use. I remeber that they did not only present italian types of trucks but as well one or two CMP. However; it might be that they were just normal CMP "missused" to carry a gun.
