BTW: it isn't clear, if they and 376 CASA C-87G were used in Spain after SCW at all - Legion Condor ones returned to Germany, and it is strange, that Spanish Wikipedia doesn't list Spain among users at all... https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkers_Ju_87. Neither Wings Palette lists any Spanish color profiles apart from SCW http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/b/29/67

Polish article on Spain and Portugal during WW2 lists aircraft bought by Spain along with other equipment in 1943: 15 Bf 109F, 10 Ju 88 and 12 Do 24T - doesn't mention Ju 87.
Neither it was used by Esc. Azul
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escuadrilla_Azul
BTW:
482 25mm Canon AT - bought in 1943 (no mention about eventual earlier deliveries)
489 75mm PaK40 Azul - they were also bought by Spain in 1943, not only used by Azul
According to the article, Spain also bought 150 ex-Soviet 122mm canons and ZB-37 HMGs.
372 Reparto G.50bis - Spain didn't use fighter-bomber G.50bis, only pure G.50 pre-series fighters left after SCW:
Una vez concluidas las hostilidades, estos aparatos quedaron en manos españolas y constituyeron, junto con los Heinkel He 112, el Regimiento Mixto de África, basado en Nador. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_G.50
So it should be strafer only, possibly used earlier.
(I'm not sure why Reparto G.50 instead of just Fiat - the same unit 362)
