Quite possibly, but we'd need to see how many roadwheel stations each hulk has to be sure neither is a Crusader. Covenator had four, Crusader five.

Definately a Covenantor

I didn't arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to what this one actually was though I did forward the notion that it was a heavily modified crusader.

But note the towing eyes on the front are part of the hull sides, those angled metal plates at the top are as built and haven't been exploded upwards and that strange bracket on the vertical plate once appeared to hold a metal tube gun crutch.

Could be. I think I can see the mountings for the Slow Motion bogies on the side.
