Burial Registers

Hello.
 
I wonder if anyone has such a thing as a burial register or archive copy of burials at the Sicily-Rome cemetery prior to 1948 when bodies were sent home to the US and elsewhere.
I asked the ABMC and they eventually told me that all the old records from the period are with the NARA (I'm in Ireland).
 
I trying to help some Italians to find the names of 9 African-American soldiers who apparently died in a C-47 crash of the 436th TCG on July 31st 1944.  Details thus far are on this thread on another forum :
forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=26136
 
Note the AFHSO do not have any extra information on the crash and in anycase the men were passengers of the 436th so the unit records would less likely to contain their names in any case.
I hoped that maybe old burial registers from 1944-1948 might indicate total burials for that date, July 31st.
