Early Breda-built C.202 camo

Mostly just a random observation - but would appreciate any comments!
Some older sources (notably Ali e Colori no. 4) state that Breda production of the C.202 sported desert colors from the beginning, but lately I've read that some may have received the early all-green "continental" upper surfaces.
This photo seems to be solid proof of the latter idea - undoubtedly a single dark color on the upper surfaces, with the distinctive Breda demarcation line under the nose quite obvious (and what appears to be a Breda logo on the prop blade). That being said...this shot has appeared in several books without the Breda connection being noted, and I've never seen any other photo that was similar.
