Another tank that is usually not on display. It belongs to the Vereain Centurion association, who collaborates with the Museum:

Definitely not a 5-ton, more of a 2-ton

I would go for a 2.5t. I took another pic in "better" angle

The M+ number is most likely wrong. It belonged most likely to a tractor.

This one is a new acquisition. It's missing from the PDF:

Is it a 2.5-ton, or a 5-ton truck? The a 2.5-ton Saurer 1CR1D is visually very similar to the 5-ton 4CT1D. Bart Vanderveen describes the former (in The Observer's Army Vehicles to 1940 Directory) as basically a civilian model modified with a radiator brush guard, towing attachments, etc, to meet the military's specs and powered by a 65 bhp 4-cyl gasoline engine. The 5-ton truck had a 6-cyl diesel producing 100 bhp.
If you had a profile pic, it would be easier to tell, based on the length of the cargo bed. from this angle, it looks like it has the shorter bed of the 2.5-tonner.

This is the last id missing. It's a Saurer truck, from the look it seems a model from the thirties. But I am unable to find the exact id:

You are welcome!
Edit: The SUMB has remarkably made appearances in mainstream movies, like Bad Boys II...

And I remembered an incident I was called to during my Army days when an M911 T-boned an old Opel Ascona, fortunately without injuries to anyone.

The tractor is easy: Oshkosh M911.
The little French truck is a Simca-Unic-Marmon-Bocquet MH600BS.
