I'll do a few and someone can correct me if I'm wrong:
001_0a - Pontiac Otter M76 (T46E1)

013_12a - FV 1900, Truck, GS, 1 Tonne, 4x4, Land Rover. (Colloquially
known as a "101" from its wheel-base or a "One Tunny". Note; 1 Ton here is
2240lb but 1 Tonne is 1000kg or 2200lb, the second "ne" in tonne is silent
officially except in ref to the 101 when we call it a "1 ton-ne".)

004_3a - Daimler Ferret, Mk 2/1.
officially: FV701(E) car, scout, 4x4, reconnaissance, Ferret Mk 2.
