Thought it was the Brit Cruiser MKIII but do not know enough about tanks.

My guess would be Israel, due to some mods.

It's not a tank, it's a SP howitzer. M-52. Probably started with the Americans, went to Jordan, and then captured by Israel. I don't know if we ever sold them directly to Israel.

This was taken in Israel, but not used by Israel.

It's an American M52 Self Propelled Gun, used by the Jordanian Army, but taken out of service by some Israeli whoop ass in the West Bank in 1967. Was never used by the IDF.

How about this one? I'll give a hint, it had a problem firing :-D
