Notes on the cars:

To Adelmo Fossati for Italian F3 in 1972, but quickly sold to Antonio Stalfieri, who raced it in Italian F3 from 1972 to 1974. This is likely to be the March "743" that Stalfieri raced in Italian F3 in 1975, 1976 and 1977. Subsequent history unknown, but in December 1994, Fabio Montani (Milan) advertised a March 713M given as "713 M5" which had a Novamotor engine and was complete with 743 bodywork. A car with this chassis number and an Italian history advertised by Luigi Moreschi Motorsport (Quingentole, Italy) in July 2015.
3. Chevron B34 [34-76-30] (Marco de Tomasi): New to Trivellato Racing for customer Marco de Tomasi and raced in Italian F3 in 1976. De Tomasi did not continue in F3 in 1977 and the subsequent history of the Chevron B34 is unknown.
4. Chevron B34 [34-76-22] (Artemio Rosich): New to Trivellato Racing for customer Artemio Rosich and fitted with a Repetto Lancia twin cam engine for European and Italian F3 in 1976. Rosich bought a March 773 for 1977, and the subsequent history of the Chevron B34 is unknown.

He raced it once, but it was then raced by Piercarlo Ghinzani at Magione in early November, and advertised by Ghinzani in Autosprint. Raced by Carminati in 1977 and then according to a later advertisement the car was retained by Team Ghinzani until 1979, then sold to "Prema Racing who kept it for 25 years".
