Okay, bad news. In the Peppino Girella episode where Franco De Vita is credited with playing "un autista" (a driver), he's not visible. We only hear his voice but he is entire off-screen - not even shown from behind. So that was no help!

I managed to dig up two fotoromanzi I have with him, though, and took some very quick pics with my phone. Both fotoromanzi are from 1962 so here is Franco De Vita. It seems completely unlikely to me that he could be the same as this singer who was a child in the mid 1960s, so it looks like our unknown Panda Man is not Franco De Vita. At least not unless there are two actors with the same name who were active during the same period...

Hmmm, mysterious then. I don't recognise this actor from I miserabili (though with 2 other actors not found that is less conclusive) and even with the poor quality he certainly isn't the same as the actor in the role credited to De Vita in Mark Twain (do you have a better copy of that?), and also I don't recognise him from Che e piu felice di me, which is pretty much entirely older actors. Is there no doubt about this ID and there is no-one who looks like Panda Man in those fotoromanzi?

Franco De Vita is the actor in the pics I posted. That is 100% certain, and there's no sign of anyone who looks even remotely like the Panda Man.

But again, I cannot guarantee that the Franco De Vita who appears in fotoromanzi is the same as the Franco De Vita credited in those TV productions. It seems odd, but there were two different actors named Marco Mariani, and apparently two different actors named Carlo Mazzoni too, so I guess anything is possible...

Oh, and I don't have a better version of the Mark Twain series, no.

Not forgetting 2 interchangeable Enzo/Vincenzo Maggios - yes could very well be 2 more actors with the same name, I guess we'll have to hope a copy of La volpe sfortunata turns up, or at least a better copy of Mark Twain - frustrating!

Is this Gaetano Quartararo, Umberto Silvestri or someone else in Sette a Tebe? While I'm very familiar with both actors for some reason I just can't quite decide. It appears the film, shot in Yugoslavia, is rather obscure, neither actor is credited anywhere online and all websites only list minimal credits and role identifications, while the credits are one of those filled with nonsensical pseudonyms!
