The first one is T148656 sometime in the late 1950s, after it had been stripped of anything that was loose and the scrap merchants’ torches cut off some of the rest of it. The other looks very similar to other photos of the tanks left in the village (of course) but not quite the same as the others I’ve seen.
The first one is totally new to me. The second one (AVRE A3) is from the same negative as FO039991, only slightly differently cropped:
