Help identify British MV’s

My son is stationed in England with the Air Force. Twice now his base has opened up for an informal vehicle show. This morning there were several MV’s: a Humvee and several British MV’s, besides many antique civilian cars. And there was a Mustang. I figure an Airman had it shipped over when he got stationed in England.

I recognize the Ferret, a Land Rover, and what looks like a British Mighty Mite. One might be a CJ6 ambulance? But I’m not sure. And the Dodges intrigue me. Were they surplussed out in England? But the chrome on the Dodges doesn’t fit a former MV.

Anybody out there an authority on British MV’s?

Austin Champ between Land Rover and Humvee. Rolls Royce B40 engine. Green box thing (6x6) may be a Supercat?

The 6x6 is a Mowag Duro. As stated above, the Mite-type vehicle is an Austin Champ. I have one, at least one other SS member, Mkcoen has one. Standard British Army Land Rover ambulance next to the Duro.

Cheers

The 6x6 is as mentioned above a Duro 11 Mobile command communications vehicle . The part with all the louvers is an aircon unit to keep all the coms cool when locked down . Cummins engine , allison trans
The landrover is a 130 "Pulse" ambulance . Then you have a Champ with rolls b40 engine , Then a Mk1 Ferret scout car with rolls B60 engine .

They are all enthusiast ex military stuff except the "Day Van", probably a member of the displaying club?.
Any other info on British stuff, Just ask, (After all I AM an 'Expert' F....know it all' ( So I'm told..)) !.
