Hola Ralf, yesterday I succeeded in looking up the interesting finding you have made. Indeed two of the movements of Sonata 39 are concordant to Martino pieces: Entree = Martino Sonata IV/1 (Capricio) Ballo = Martino Sonata II/2 (Ballo)
For the other movements I didn't find a concordance in Martino at least. If one compares the tablature the Salzburg versions are different in some details: It is for an 11-course lute, whereas the printed versions are for 13-course lute. There are some rests in the Salzburg versions that are filled with some accompanying chords in the print. And there are some more bass notes in the Salzburg version. Although the last difference could point into the other direction I suppose that the Salzburg versions are earlier and the printed versions are overworked ones. As the two movements appear in different sonatas, they could be by Martino or they could be not by him. He wouldn't have been the first who included foreign works into his own: One Courante by Weiss in d-minor exists in two versions for flute transposed one tone higher. The first one is in a collection by Quantz, the other one appears in a print of a work by a composer named Braun.
