Paul, you have a point.
The CR32 under repaint for the Italian AF Museum poses much the same questions. The machine is officially a Hispano HA.132 and sure enough there is a Spanish data plate for it, as well as copious overhaul plates etc. But some components bear Italian inspection stamps in the classic GAxx format of the UST, the equivalent to the AID.
So perhaps these aircraft were built from kits supplied from the manufacturer, or at least used some difficult parts supplied by them?
