Welcome aboard!

As far as I knew, 129 examples of this biplane has been built, and they served up to 1925.
It has been mentioned in "ALI TRICOLORI Gli aerei militari italiani" volume 1.
No MM numbers mentioned.

Thanks Silencer1!

Did you see this page about military aircraft serial numbers?
Few lists of MM are available here http://www.worldmilitair.com/cou%20iii.htm - just find "Italy" on the page.

Matricola Militare system has been introduced in 1923 and contains few blocks, for allocation of different aircraft' classes:

1 - 999 - prototypes, experimental, record-setters, racers
1000 - 9999 - fighters and fighter-bombers
10000 - 12999 - land-based reconnaissance and light bombers
20000 - 25999 - land-based bombers
27000 - 27999 - ship-based aircraft
30000 - 34999 - torpedo-bombers, gliders, autogyros
35000 - 35999 - maritime reconnaissance hydroplanes
40000 - 45999 - bomber hydroplanes
50000 - 56999 - trainers and touring aircraft
60000 - 61999 - cargo aircraft
65000 - 65999 - training hydroplanes
70000 - 74999 - aerobatic trainers
75000 - 75999 - assault aircraft

The list comes from "Ali Tricolori, Parte 2e - 1923-1934", (Storia Militare Dossier, 2013)

I wonder, if this designation system has been restarted after the WW2, for AMI?
 
Thanks Silencer1 for this hint!
Too bad that the first system is missing!
But nevertheless....

Thank you for the link.

I edited my previous post, adding full list of MM sequences, introduced in 1923.
Curiously, there were some gaps between them.

And found the interesting link - it states, that full list of MM exists only in 50 examples, and prevented by the authors to be sold...
