The second one looks like some sort of tankette..... French or Polish would be my guess.

First one kinda reminds me of a Panther.

Third one looks like a British model.

The top pic is the Hungarian TAS 44M which never made it to production

The middle picture is the Vickers 6-ton Type B (single 2-man turret, shell firing gun) in Polish service. Not a tankette.

The bottom is a variation of a tank that was very widely produced from the late 30's early 40's as a gun tank and continued in production until 1945 in other roles. It has a number of obvious recognition features. Not British.
 

A U.S. Marine Corps M1A2 Abrams main battle tank is offloaded aboard Camp Bastion, Afghanistan Nov. 25, 2010. The Marine tank was flown in country on-board a U.S Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster III and marks the first to arrive. ( U.S. Marine Corps photo by LCpl McKenzie James / Released)
 
 
In ascending order:

The M3 Grant Lulubelle from the Humphrey Bogart movie Sahara with a Bogie on it

The Polish OBRUM PL-01 based on a BAE Systems (Hagglunds) CV-90

Teledyne Continental Motors "Super M60" from about 1985, a failed bid to keep M60 production going

Tanks (assorted)
 
Some more,... The third image interesting not so much for what it is but rather where it is.





 
Going a bit more modern,...
