The top one sure looks like the ubiquitous Oerlikon 20mm "FF" or variant of WWII era. These were built under license by several countries in various guises and configurations. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oerlikon_FF

Middle one is a German 75mm IG37. 75mm PAK40 behind it. The bottom one, is I think, one of the various French 105mm that the Germans captured & recycled. Nice collection, wish it was my garage!

- Pzkpfw-e Nice collection, wish it was my garage! Me too, though if it were mine, I'd at least spring for a bottle of 3-in-1 oil and a broom.

Bottom one is actually a Spanish 1940's Canon de Montana 75/22 model 41, there's one at Overloon, also one on Milweb at the minute.
