I got an info on the actual Beretta Mod. 1918 here: Beretta Mod. 1918-1930 automatic carbine (96.lt)
Also Revelli-Beretta Mod. 1915 as shown in pic (semi-auto): Beretta Model 1918 automatic carbine (96.lt)
According to the sources, since both weapons were adopted when the war is nearly over and there's little evidence for the usage of Revelli-Beretta Mod. 1915, so I guess "Fiat Revelli Modello 1914" would be a great replacement, if you ask me.
