Well, now Blackadder has identified the collection, the mystery Cent is Stridsvagen 104c.

Credit should go to him if correct.

 

[Old and Tired]

Mystery Cent is indeed the Swedish Stridsvagen 104c.

I'll leave it to AmmoTech90 and blackadder to come up with the next one.

 

[Blackadder1916]

Here's one.

 

[Old and Tired]

Possibly the late production BA-64C Soviet Armoured Car.

No.

Possible replacement for LAV III?? I'm joking.... >

 

[Blackadder1916]

I'll try to bump this along with some additional info that may give a hint as to the vehicle.

Production of this vehicle type was originally in 1954/55.  Was used by only one organization until that group was disbanded which began following 3 October 1990.  Most of the vehicles were then scrapped or (like the one in the photo) went to museums or private collectors.

SPW-40? a.k.a. BTR-40

SPW-40? a.k.a. BTR-40

No.  But you're probably thinking about the correct nationality.

 

[Blackadder1916]

Here's another view of the vehicle, accompanied by another vehicle that was also unique to the only organization that used them.

(extra points for the second vehicle)

GDR SK-1

You got it.

. . . former East German armored patrol vehicle was used exclusively by the East German Police and not used by the army. Though similar in appearance to the Russian BA-64, the SK-1 is an independent development and much bigger than the BA-64. The SK-1 is the chassis of a Robur Garant 30K truck fitted with an armored body and a kight turret. There is a door in the rear of the hull for the crew to enter, and a hatch on top of the turret. The turret has several vision slits and a hole for a machinegun. With the reunification of Germany, most of the SK-1s were scrapped, except for some sent to museums or private collectors.
