I am not aware of any other toy soldier manufacturer who has made the two-man CV33 Italian tankett. This stock photo of Hiriart Set 1207 FIAT-ANSALDO CV33 CARROARMATO, ITALIA, has the crewman in the tankett wearing a steel helmet; my set has him wearing the leather Italian tanker's helmet. The CV33 is all diecast metal.

Hirart also made a desert version of this set.

This is a photo Tommy Allison sent me a while back of his Hiriart CV33 on display which has Cacciatori d'Africa figures wearing sun helmets.

I saw this desert version on eBay a while back. Like Tommy's set, it has the Italian coat of arms on the vehicle's side. I didn't bid on it since it appeared that the machine guns were bent and there was some paint chipping. On a future order, I am ordering the desert version set with Cacciatori d'Africa figures, but with the tank crewman wearing the Italian-style black leather tankers helmet.

I took the desert version of this set, as shown in post #2, to the West Coaster this weekend and sold it.
