The seller lists the first as a Kurogane Passenger Car, and the second as a Sumida. The Kurogane looks very similar to the Sumida Type 93.

Atsuta commander car. Atsuta was the first commercial passenger car made in Japan. But, it was very expensive and hardly sold. So, it was mainly sold to army as commander car.- Luftflotte2

Thanks Taki. I feel like this one is a 1933 Ford but I cannot read the caption.

One more for now. The caption reads "Japanese men shooting near the Tientsin Pukow Railway of the North China front." Is this a Chinese or Japanese modification? The car is an American import.

The turret will be dummy. It looks Chinese modification, but not for sure.

Re: Type 95 Truck and Other Odd Vehicles
Recently I was reminded of this strange amphibian. A modified Type 94 which now resides in Rabaul. From what I can translate: on December 21, 1942 one SR-III and "Vickers" (ビッカース) are sent to Rabaul for towing supplies across water. The user speculated the Vickers tank may have been this machine. A singular prototype perhaps?

According to an expert of western tanks, the tank at Rabaul is not Vickers amphibious tank. So, it will be SR-III.
SR-III is IJA amphibious tank. A prototype was built in 1939. But, it was not adopted. None of photo or drawing of SR-III is known.

I just remembered China had used Vickers A4E12 amphibious tanks. According to the source bellow one was captured and used for training purposes. That explains it.

It is said that captured Vickers amphibious tank influenced SR-III. So, it may resemble Vickers amphibious tank.

Thank you both for your help!
From the Album of the 37th Ordnance Maintenance Co. comes these pictures of a Bedford MW water bowser. The location is should be around Tokyo, where this unit was stationed.

Here is a slightly armored truck. Not sure what model, but maybe an import to China?
