These are US Army tanks from the 1930's.

#1 - Christie T3 Medium Tank

#2-7 - US Army Light Tank M2A2....affectionally known as "Mae West" because of the twin turrets.

#8 - Christie T3E2 Medium Tank

The suspension on the Christie tank could operate with or without tracks. The US Army decided not to go with this design. So Christie sold the licence to the Soviets who used it in their BT series of tanks and the T-34 series. The British also used the Christie suspension in their Cruiser series of tanks and others.
