No - not Argus engines.
I can't say more - otherwise it will reveal too much.
Still: 6 cylinders and about 185 horses

Is this the original design, or was it a single engined aircraft that was twinned?

Bestetti Nardi BN.1. Dunno why (and for what) the two cockpits.

I haven't been able to find any reasoning for the double cockpit

According to what I read on wikipedia, it was confused by a pilot of an MC.205 velto with a P-38. The plane got serious damage wich ruined the development.  o_O

will it be true? :-|

it's a Savoia-Marchetti SM.92  ;D

Correct, Loco, your turn. Food for thought how the defensive MG in the tail was meant to be used.
