1945 ZAGREB, Mussolini street

Letter from Zagreb utility company to the agricultural cooperatives. Non-philatelic usage during the six day period of authorized use (from 25 to 30.VI.1945). 

Letter was sent to the address with the street name devoted to fascist Arnaldo Mussolini the brother of Italy's fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Interestingly, the partisans tolerated such street names for almost two months since Zagreb was liberated.

Later, Mussolini street was renamed to Braća Kavurić street, and in 2006 to Hebrangova street.

1941 Banja Luka, A Mystery of the Position 10

You probably noticed that the "Croatian Philately" stopped publishing in 2016. After one year, a new magazine with a similar name ("Croatian Philatelist") is on the scene. In the first number you will find my short article:

Hrvatski Filatelist No. 1/2017

OI Montenegro, Early mail

The attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia began on April 6, 1941. The southwestern part of Montenegro was occupied by the Italian 14th Corps of the 9th Army. The Messina Division took over the Bar (Antivari) on April 16, 1941.

Italian occupation of Montenegro, postcard franked with 80 cent. for air mail, sent from Bar (19.4.41) to Rome, cancelled with "UFFICIO POSTALE MILITARE ??". Note that the postcard was written on April 17, just a day after the Italians took over the Bar. This is an early mail from Italian occupation of Montenegro.

I need some help with identifying a military unit number on the cancellation "UFFICIO POSTALE MILITARE ??". I checked in "La Posta Militare Italiana 1939|1945", Giuseppe Marchese (edition 1991), but without luck. If you have a newest edition or maybe some other sources, please check if you can find out the military unit number. The visible part of the cancellation should be sufficient for the identification...
