Francesco Quaglio sent me the above picture.  It is of a Littorina in Asmara in 1939.  A close attention to detail shows the fasce is on the front and the Ferrovie Eritree logo on the side with opposing fasce on the side.  It also shows an example of the giant Mother-in-Law's tongue in front of it that I have mentioned elsewhere.  It shows life.  Here the roof is clear of the wires shown on Okie's picture (below).  This does not have any center windows.  Therefore, it is a model 025D.

The front of Littorina Nr 6 is shown above.  I took this picture at Ghinda in 1961. The Nr looks almost like a K:

This posed a question for a long time because Italian normally only uses K on foreign words such as killer and karate.  An Eritrean expatriate told me that nothing in Tigranya that would have anything to do with number or Littorina started with a K.

Finally, upon looking at Patrick Horton's picture of the Littorina (or some other shot from this angle), it dawned on me it was Nr...the Italian abreviation for numero.  The mystery was completely solved with Rick Baxter's picture of No 7.

Here it is clearly N° 7.  In my era, the signage in Eritrea still reflected the Italian Colonialism and may have had the Nr abbreviation.

The Littorina name was given during the Fascist era.
