Well... According to various swedish publications just the
upper wing was recovered from 2542. The swedish Air Force Museum swapped it together with a propeller an a centre
piece of fuselage from one (unidentified) of the civilregistered ones in exchange for an Isotta Fraschini
engine with the museum at Vigna di Valle,Italy in the mid
90's.
According to the same sources, as well as Mikael Olrogs
site on preserved axis aircraft, these pieces would be
incorporated in the example currently being restored there.
Has an exchange of parts been done ?

And, if anyone wonders: the Isotta Fraschini fits in the
Macchi M7 at the swedish air force museum.
