Recently I found this plastic Massey Harris, its not an exact copy of the Lesney one but it has the same size and they look good next to each other.

Certainly is an interesting piece! Any manufacturer's mark or country of origin details?

The plastic Tractor is a dead ringer of the 'LIPKIN' model of which versions do exist, but the rear tyres are totally different to those used on 'LIPKIN-PIPIN' (Pipin being a later branding), Tractors.

Some of the tooling from Rapheal Lipkin went to the Lines Bros company who maintained many product lines, but I have not found a plastic Tractor within their toy ranges that lok like the one in the above pictures.

If good clear close-up pictures could be shown of the underside, we may see some evidence of blanked-out brand names or logos.

Cant see anything on the base, there is a logo of the company KAKURO on the sides and I just discovered ''Made in W-Germany'' behind the rear wheel

Great spot finding the brand name.

'KAKURO' were current through the 1960's, with a wide range of plastic toys (the tractor is Polythene, a bit like the Tudor Rose toys), and they had at least 8 copies of Matchbox regular wheel models including the #44A Rolls-Royce.
This brand was not imported into the UK, so there are very few examples of their toys here. I imagine a search on German ebay may show more of their toys, but hey are quite hard to find wherever you look!

Thanks for the extra information! Those miniatures are interesting.

Very hard to find any info on these Kakuro toys... here's a photo with what looks like a large copy of a Matchbox/Dinky dumper
