Will add some info
but drop the 'expert' please,,, 
The Marina Militare did receive 100 of the 140 202/A's produced, but not officers only. There are other pieces that were delivered to some famous Navy VIPs and to some ex-Panerai people. Eventually most of them found their way to the market but some military active service divers still have theirs. The official watch of the MM and the Comsubin has changed over the years and, of course, is no longer made by Panerai.
There was a story behind the MM PAM 217 that Panerai 'forgot' to get approval from the MM, but don't know if there is any truth behind it 
Cheers,
Asi

Now that's what I call a collection!
Bill, you will never cease to amaze me. Didn't know that you also own this fabulous Non Matching 202/A. Well, you only miss the 82, and you will have all the MMs of the modern Era,. The funny thing is that I also considered this thematic, as I owned the 2...
That's a great trio, now
just add the blue one and you can retire,,,,lol Congrats on your 202/A, great piece indeed! Cheers, Asi

The 202 is a super grail. I love the non matching dial, with the vet numbers. Cheers, Bas.nl

Amazing collection!
How many MM's are there? Is it 4? Why is this text only so frequently used? Best regards, Mat
On MM's
The Marina Militare is the Italian Navy. It is my understanding that most if not all of the 202/A's were issued to Marina Militare officers and only become available when a officer or his family decide to sell it. All of the other MM watches are produced ...

To be more precise
140 202/ A were made, and 10 prototypes. 200 Pam 36 were made. Best. Nicolas
That raises another question about the 202/A non matching...
I think I'll just sick to taking the pics.. The 36 info was a definite oops on my part. But what I'd really like to know, is how many non matching dial 202/A's are out there. Thanks Bill
Here is a pic I took some time ago
And that I just found in my messy HD: And another killing one: Best. Nicolas...
