For its F-84s and F-86s, the AMI simply adopted USAF 1950s-style serials, both on record and on the aircraft. Examples here are the Fiat-built F-86 and F-84F MM53-6892 behind it. The black cat with green mice logo of 51° Stormo originates from a 1939 rivalry between bomber and fighter pilots based at Roma-Ciampino.
