I’m not so sure about the one in the middle and am wondering whether it might be a repaint. Could you please provide a baseplate shot and a close-up of the front trim?

That middle one has certainly been fiddled with. It has metal wheels from the #45 Vauxhall Victor. But I am not completely sure about the paint. I think it is wrong. But please have a look.
It did come cheap, part of a lot which I bought

By the way the broken off piece has been glued on in the meantime.

Those rivets aren't sitting snugly, are they? Could the broken baseplate be the result of damage when the base was pried off?

There is not much wrong with the way the base plate is riveted, there is little movement, but that is about equal to the movement which I found on the other 65A models. The broken off piece could be due to falling as it was bent inwards, When I tried to correct that, it broke off. If the base plate would have been forced off, I guess it would have been bent outwards.

Well, there does look to be a mismatch between the colour of the paint in the rivet wells and the paint on the outside of the body.
