They seem to be Vickers 6-ton and Sd Kfz 222 in the last 2 photos.

Re: Tanks and Armour in service with the Chinese forces
Interesting, but it seems that they are repeating some common mistakes. For example, Vickers Carden-Lloyd amphibious tanks in Chinese service never wore a white hand-painted sunburst marking on its turret - the famous(or perhaps we can say infamous) photo showing one tank with such marking was a later manipulation by the press(the original photo showing a Vickers Carden-Lloyd in service with Canton forces(easily identified by the uniform) which AFAIK carred no speical markings).
And, we all know that Chinese army never used twin-turret Vickers 6-ton tank...
However they are correct in stating that the Type 94 tankettes with sunburst were properties of the collaborationist Nanking government.

Re: Tanks and Armour in service with the Chinese forces
1) The twin-turret Vickers 6-tonner belongs to Japan.
2) The VCL amphibious tank should carry a 4 tone colour, the same as 6 tonner.
3) All the 16 VCL amphibious light tanks in the Tank Battalion are late production, but the drawing is an early production.
4) Marking 6 or 10 on that early production amphibious tank means the tank belongs to the 8th Route army of the Canton Provincial Government during 1933 to 1936.
