The first pic looks Hollywoodish, but the others seem legit.

They're wearing the M1917A1 helmet. The M1 steel pot didn't appear in large numbers until mid-1942...

Yes, also note the helmets in this picture. And what looks like a Vickers MG.

Do you mean the tank? The Achilles is the British version of the M10 Wolverine. Looks the same.

-The field guns are French made 155 mm Schneider modèle 1917 (WW1 vintage)
-The machine gun is a US made Browning M 1917A1 in 30.06
-The tank destroyer is an M10, Wolverine being the name given to the the British M10 in service within the Anti-tank regiments of the Royal Artillery.

The difference between the Wolverine and the Achille is that the Achille had a British 17 pounder cannon instead of the US 76,2 mm. The counter weight behind the muzzle brake is the easy way to spot the difference.

It's not a Vickers MG. It's US M1918 MG and Russians used Maxim M1910 MG
