Keith,

The first one, is a South African Armoured Reconnaissance Car Mk VI, or Marmon Herrington Mk VI. It drove on all 8 wheels by two 95hp Ford Mercury V8 engines via two sets of MH drives.

This is the second model with main armament of a 6 pdr gun, coaxial Besa mg and a 0.5 Browning on the turret top for AA defence.

I think the lower one is a Marmon Herrington MkIIIa armd. car.

Richard
