Ground-loop in the desert II

Several similarities leed me to believe that this is the same airplane as in this photo: http://www.ww2incolor.com/italian-forces/MC200-CAPP-COL-2.html According to the photo caption it belonged to the 92nd Squadriglia, 8th Gruppo, 2nd Stormo. A profile drawing of the same airplane (in the same book) states that it fought in North Africa in 1941, and I quote: 'under the insignia of the 94th Squadriglia, 16th Gruppo of the 54th Stormo'. A bit of a mystery there, but it's a modellers book, I don't know how reliable it is. The cammo pattern is most probably an overlayer of Giallo Mimetico 3 (gold sand) over the factory applied Dark Olive Green 2.
