I thought this place needed a random pictures of obscure tanks thread. So here it is,...

Hungary 44M TAS Prototype.jpg

Polish Vickers 6 Ton Type B 01.jpg

Swiss Pzr 39 01.jpg
 
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.

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