Here is a wikipedia of the Mark class British tank from 1916
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_I_(tank)

It's a tough call, either a Mark 4 or a Mark 5....
re, the first photo.
I have exactly the same photo in a book I own, British Tanks and Fighting Vehicles by B.T. White.

Its a MK V* (Female)

The second photo appears to be a Mk V (Male), but without a side view I cannot be certain.


ps, the MK V* was a Mk V with the hull length increased by 3 feet to improve trench crossing ability
