JM Friera’s “Rosas de España”, Madrid 1957 p. 170 says:
Mediterranea. HT. (P. Dot, 1943)
Sport de Signora Piero Puricelli.
Rosal de vigorosa vegetación, provisto de ancho follaje verde brillante. Flor de color laca carmin con pinceladas amarillas, abierta la flor y después de unas horas al sol, el carmin pasa al rosa y el amarillo al blanco. Rosas olorosas de gran tamaño que llaman la atención por la rareza de su colorido.

Mediterranea. HT. (P. Dot, 1943)
Sport of Signora Piero Puricelli.
Rose of vigorous growth, provided with broad, bright green foliage. Flowers are crimson lake with yellow brush strokes when they open, after a few hours in the sun turning carmine pink and the yellow turning white. Large fragrant roses that attract attention because of the rarity of their color.

Does this sport differ significantly from Ambussfoken, AKA Anvil Sparks?
How often does it happen that a rose produces two different striped sports?

I could say Mediterranea differs from Anvil Sparks by 18 years. But looking at the photos they are hard to tell apart. The stripes of both seem to turn white in sunlight. The stripes of the Budapest example of Mediterranea shown on HMF seem finer than those of Anvil Sparks, but Dot's own catalogue shows Mediterranea with some very broad stripes. Here is the catalogue reproduction from Wikimedia Commons so you can compare them.
