Hi Ilian,
I am pretty sure these are WOT6s on both of your pictures. The first one is WOT6 "EVA" one of about 25 that came with the Czechoslovak Armoured Brigade Group to liberated Czechoslovakia in May/June 1945. On the internet it is wrongly described as WOT6. We have not found any file that would indicate that the WOT8s which the Czechoslovak army had in Great Britain crossed the channel to France after D-day+. All were swapped for other vehicles.
I am not familiar with the second photo but that would also be WOT6. It is just the angle of perspective that makes you think that is has a shorter wheelbase. But the devided cab with handles indicates it clearly, so do the fender pyramid stripe "steps".
Note that the large tank behind the cabin was mounted to both 8s and 6s.
