Thanks, and some comments from my side
- Photo #3 with tankers is actually great. i never seen such trucks in service.
As a base it seems to be late V3000s (we can see Koln cab with typical wall and roof mounting and also shortened foot-stand introduced an all V3000 after unification with Maultier).
Also, there are similar tanks mounted on 1935/36 model (see attached).
I don't know origin of these

- Photo #5 seems to be typical German late-production (It already has wide bumber with gabarite pins on its corners) G917T with standard Wehrmacht body.
