Hi Raul,
Your first one looks like a mid '30's Hanomag Rekord Cabriolet.

Hi Raul:

For your last one, I believe the vehicle is a Peugeot 202 which you can see below. I do not know the unit symbol.
Edit: A better period photo.

Hi Raul,

for me it is a Stoewer type M 12 RW. Please have a look on Holger´s site (www.kfzderwehrmacht.de). There You can compare.

Hi Raul:

Regarding your latest, I believe the rear vehicle is a 1939 Buick Special. Below are two photos, one a 1939 and the other a 1940
showing the tail lights, fender design, bumper etc. which are very similar. They were imported by Lilpop & Rau up to about 1939 as I remember.

The forward vehicle might be a Polski-Fiat field car. A bit hard to tell with all the damage.
