Bruce's data certainly is a good starting point and your changes look along the right lines.
It looks like your developing three engines during the 1940s (1,600lb, 2,400-2,600 which might stretch to 3,000lb and the 5,000lb). That seems reasonable given Italy's engine capacity.
Whether these are axial or centrifugal will further alter things. I would say the 2,400, 2,600 and 3,000lb engines would have to be axials to allow twin internal engines and the 5,000lb would also be best as an axial, probably being developed into 6,500-7,000lb and more for the 1950s. The 1,600lb could be centrifugal to make max use of turbocharger know-how and speed development.
