Default Armoured Car ID

Max Hedges recently came into the posession of some Armoured Car pics, via a very circuitous route from their origin. They appear to be taken in Britain in the 30's. Any ID on the vehicles or the units? My first guess is Crossley A/C, but what is the Wireless Truck?

5. This pic is of interest as it shows the Muzzles of the two MGs on all the Cars are different. Were these fitted with 2 different guns? (Vickers/Maxim/Lewis?).

Tony,

It looks like a Leyland Terrier, matching it up with other photos.

As for the car, it could be a Hillman, but not sure.
