Its me again,

quick update, I have started searching sites in foriegn languages, here is one: USA - Torpédové čluny - TYP Higgins 78' - Válečné lodě 1900-1950

Scrolling down to PT-201, there is a little british flag on the right side of the page with MBT-181 also, clicking it, I am taken to this Site:

USS PT 201, HMS MGB 181, CJMN MT 1-8 - Válečné lodě 1900-1950

OK what i can gather from this site is that this entire page must be about the PT-201/mgb-181 and if you will look at the bottom of the page there is a listing of CJMN-MT1-8.

Now there is a small flag there above that CJMN MT 1-8 which I dont recognize. Since this boat was passed to the UK from the US, could it be that the boat was passed from the UK to some other country?

CJMN MT 1-8 < now if you can find out what country that flag is from, you might be able to solve this riddle.

I hope this helps,

have a good day,

Greg


ADDENDUM: apparently jug (when you click on the flag) is meant to be "YUG" for yugoslavia, you might look to see if the above mentioned CJMN MT 1-8 can be found in yugoslavian naval records lol.
