I passed on your Q. to some of the best experts in Italy ...
As far as I know, the directive of the Regia Aeronautica to paint the fighters nose in yellow was effective - in all war theaters - from early spring to october 1941, therefore it was probably used in the last period by the Italian BoB expeditionary airforce (CAI), which ceased operations on April 15th 1941.
I don't know if it was used before spring 1941 by any CAI groups, but the super-experten will soon pop in ..
