Unknown "Marmon-Herrington" armoured car version
 

As stated before the Dutch East Indies Army received 49 South African reconaissance cars Mk3's in february 1942. These cars were known to the British Army (incorrectly) as Marmon-Herrington Armoured cars.
The desert conversions of the Mk2's have been well noted, but take a look at this KNIL version: a Vickers air cooled (ex-aircraft) mmg in a newly created front position left to the driver. An unknown number of cars were modified in this way in the Dutch East Indies.

Overvalwagens!

"Marmon-Herrington"
 

Nice pictures!

As I understand the 7,7 mm M/1936 air-cooled aircraft MGs used in Armoured Cars of the KNIL were not Vickers but Colt-Browning. The second picture shows the armament in the turret - obviosly a water-cooled M/1923 Vickers, probably in 7,7 mm (there were also such MGs in 6,5 mm).
