Default British army trucks of the 30s. Identification

The pictures probably show some maneuvers or training.
1. Thornycroft A3/FB4. Behind them is an Austin 7 passenger car.
2,3. I identify this truck as Guy BAX.
4. The first one on the right is Guy BAX, the third one is Morris Commercial type D. And what is the car between them? In the front, in the center of the frame, there is some kind of massive bracket supporting a spring or wishbones (it is hard to see). It was not possible to find the truck by this design feature.
5. Guy BAX

The photo shows Crossley IGL trucks. The one on the far left differs in many details: spare wheel mount, rear view mirrors, radiator mask, position of parking lights, etc. According to http://www.crossley-motors.org.uk/hi...IGL3/IGL3.html there were six Crossley IGL models - from the third to the eighth. IGL 6,7 and 8 - forward control, IGL 5 - experimental model. What models are shown in the photo? The one on the far left is IGL 3. And the other two cars? IGL 4?

Mobile workshop. What car chassis is used? I assumed it was a Thornycroft A4, but there are some differences. So I'm not sure.

1. New Zealand Army Mobile Searchlight Unit. What kind of truck is this? A Leyland Retriever? The front wheel has eight mounting points, while Retrievers typically had ten. Or is this an export model?
2.An early New Zealand Army Leyland Retriever. The front wheel clearly shows the 10 mounting points.
