Recently acquired a set of Arsenale Taranto plans for GIS 841-844 (ex-PT 92, 88, 90, 94) circa 1950. In this configuration, they mounted a 20mm Oerlikon (not a BREDA) forward, another amidships, and a 37mm/54 aft. Looking at the inboard profile, it's interesting to see how little blocking was added below these weapons.
Over the years, I've been able to acquire general arrangement drawings for most of the 78' Higgins subgroups, including the Italian MS and the RN target tows. I still haven't found any general arrangements for the initial staggered turret 71-84, a clear set for the 450 series, and the RN MTB/MGB versions. Will keep looking.
