I dont know what star it has, but it is clearly western. Vickers suspension, 0.3 or 0.5 browning....And it looks very much like the M48, although the gun looks odd...maybe an early version of the 105mm...
The problem is just where could they use it and how would they get it to any battlefield. It would be to big for the railways, there would not be a bridge strong enough for it to cross and even though that it has a load of AAA guns on it it would still be vulnerable to air attack
Here is a odd tank, does any one know what it's job was

The M48 at Bovington is a T48 phototype sent over to the UK for evaluation by the Ministry of Defence, so its a none-standard early model.I agree it does look a lot like an M48 just wondering whether it could have been a captured one from late Korea (I think it went into service in 1952) or Vietnam hence to odd gun and red star. Incidently the gun looks like the Russian 100mm D10T-series (same one as mounted on the T54-55)

re, the first photo.I believe you are looking at a Mark 4 Tank from WWI yes World War One, the first apperance of the Tank in history...
Here is a wikipedia of the Mark class British tank from 1916

It's a tough call, either a Mark 4 or a Mark 5....
