This isn't the Yugo Mausers you see on the surplus market. This is the Model 24 that was built by F.N for the Yugoslavians before there was a plant in Yugoslavians. He obtained it while in Italy on the way to the Gothic line.

Can anyone prove any info about this rifle? Was it a common Mauser? Where could I find a bayonet to fit it?
 
I don't remember the exact number but 32,000 M1924's from FN before The Serb's got their plant going and started production of the M1924 rifle. There are several variations, carbine and rifle.

I wouldn't doubt it if he did find one, they used anything they could get their hands on at the time. Though I thought most 24/47s were Czech?

Most of the Yugo Mausers on the market you see are the M48s which are very similar to your 24/47. Bayonet wise, you should be able to use an M48's bayonet. They're the same and you can get them from a couple places fairly cheap
