The photos are of two different vehicles, the first two are of a Crusader.

The Crusader on the bogged truck is 10th Hussars, 2 Armd Bde, 1 Armd Div. The nickname for these deception devices was Sunshield.

The last tank I think is not allied, maybe Italian.

Tank Identification
 
Tanker Mike, as already stated in this post, the photographs are of British tanks. The first two are a Crusader and the the third is a Cruiser Mk I.

The third tank is an A9, quite unusual to see one of those fitted with a Sunshield, could have been a depot vehicle being used as a test-bed perhaps.

Matilda II
 
Nice photograph of a disguised Matilda II.

As someone with slight experience of photographic interpretation, the incomplete finishing of that Matilda's "sunshade" would cause an experienced PI to look again or ask for another pass...
