Excellent find Cory, well done. Euan's father found a similar series of photos at Camberwell market last year, also showing gun tractors at what appears to be Pucka. I suspect they're part of the same series. I'll leave it Keith to post them.
Your top pic shows two FGT9s. The one on the left is difficult to identify but the Canadian front fairleads are a giveaway, and I believe the No.9 peaked roof is just visible. The front bumper has been replaced with a late model bumper (small holes).
Middle pic is a CGT8.
Bottom pic is impossible to identify, except to say it's a Chev. Front wheel is a dual with the standard CMP spacer, and the only CMPs fitted with duals in WWII were tippers. However in post war years they were used on Chev No.6 gun tractors sometimes, so given the context of these photos I suspect that's what it may be. The extended mirror arm is also indicative.
