1.  Sahariana AS-42, Italian gun truck.

2.  7 TP,  Polish tank of 1939

3.  Tank Cruiser, Ram Mk II  Canadian.  Built by The Montreal Locomotive Works, which was a subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company, and was re-designated the Canadian Tank Arsenal.  The current U.S. tank, the M3, was chosen as the basis for the design (that is why the front transmission cover and drive train look so familiar).

(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)

1.  PzH 2000  Modern German SPG

2.  Marmon-Herrington CTLS With the right hand turret mounting. The Marmon-Herrington CTLS was a US light tank produced for the export market at the start of the Second World War. The vehicle had a crew of two and was armed with three machine guns: one in a revolving turret and the others in the bow under the control of the driver.

A few saw combat in the Netherlands East Indies campaign against the Japanese invasion. In mid-1942 a batch was diverted to Australia from the Dutch order where they were used for training.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor some of these tanks were taken over by the US Marines and employed in Northern Alaska as the T14 and T15 (designation depending on mounting position of the turret).

This tank, as the Ram Mk II, had the turret removed and became possibly the first APC, the Kangaroo.

The image is of the Ram Mk I, as the Ram Mk II had the auxiliary turret and sponson door removed.

Second pic is a PzIII hull with a Russian 76mm gun in the casemate.

Probably got some ID like SturmPzIII (76.2R) or Sturmgechurtz III (76.2R)
