What a great discovery!
Here’s a model that might have the details of the fender stickers.

1973 Porsche 2.8 RSR ex-Targa Florio, 2xLeMans #9113600894
Funny coincidence this.
In my search for period pictures of the 1973 Martini RSRs, i searched this Italian Targa Florio forum for days on end. There's 1500 pages to go through, but one of the things that intrigued me was this green RSR that raced under the 'team Ateneo Jolly' banner in 1974. Very distinctive car, with very distinguished decals; little did I know this car was actually 0894.
So there's a few things I found, and a few pictures I saved.
There's a lot of round decals at the rear flanks with a topless model. This turns out to be a (now vintage) sticker for 'Fiorucci Jeans'. If you like, there's one sticker for sale on ebay. Note: potentially NSFW.
Few additional pictures I found on that forum here, but nothing on that 1:43 scale model; I have not found that anywhere either.
More pictures of the car in that livery during the Targa can be found here.

These are decals I need help with. I need a clear “bla bla” red decal and also what is the decal on the drivers side front hood closest to windshield? And can anyone find a picture of the rear of the car to see what decals were on the rear?

You're welcome
The decal closest to windshield says "autonautica" and the front one (Bla Bla) is an Italian fashion brand I believe.
Can't find a logo for both, nor a picture of the rear of the car. this is the closest, but based on that scale model:
Actually, a search for "Mateo Cuccia" provides this link. It seems that this is the guy that made a lot of the Targa Florio cars in 1:43 and apparently also in 1:18.
So it was never a commercially available model I think. Good news is that his site shows a few better angles of the decals and car.

Somewhere else on the targa forum someone posted this in 2015:
"This Porsche is a true testimony of motorsport in Palermo during the '70s...
The main sponsor, "BlaBla", was a very fashionable shop among young Palermitans at that time... I bought several jeans and T-shirts there...
Autonautica (front cover) was a Peugeot-Talbot dealership, very close to my current home, where I bought (or better, where dad bought) my first car, a Talbot Sunbeam 1000...
Arone (hood and back) was tyresales (rubber = gomme in Italian) - don't know anything more about that.
Drivers: Raffaele Restivo is now a lawyer, while "Apache" was a dealer from whom I bought a Toyota much later... he was an excellent driver... but not a very honest dealer... but well, he's dead now, rest his soul...
The Restivo-Apache couple then won the very last Targa endurance version (1977, valid only for the Italian championship, race interrupted for the accident of Gabriele Ciuti on Osella, driver seriously injured and some spectators killed), on a Chevron sport- proto."
BlaBla seems to still exist (although this one is not in Sicily). See website here, they may be able to help you as their logo seems relatively unchanged:

Happy to help - your car, and the (photos with the) article this topic started with have been a treasure for my RSR replica project.
The details on oil lines, interior fire-ext. lines and the fuel-filler details all have helped me tremendously!
