A very good friend is looking information on a series of detailed green army tanks from the early 60’s. He can’t remember who made them. He remembers one of the vehicles was a tank that carried a mobile bridge. Any information will be appreciated.

Does he have an idea on country of origin the toys were made ,scale,color/colors ?
Does he know if they were WW2 or more modern ?
It looked sort of similar to this: Here’s a youtube showing the tank in action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWMrY49qqDw
HO scale? From Austria? Could they be ROCO?
“During the 1960s – AHM distributed Roco Minitanks as AHM MINITANKS (z-102 to z-236) in the US as part of AHM’s Minimen and Minimovers line. Some older collectors might remember the store placards / displays boards with 24 Roco Minitanks display in plastic bubbles on the board. A fully intact AHM Minitanks Display sold for $250 in April 2010 on ebay.”
I collected these way back when, have 20 or so loose ones now. Search “roco minitanks” on ebay, or google that and you’ll see lots of pix.
