I recently acquired this group of drivers, solely for the Condon dumper driver on the right.
The one in the middle is, I think, a Dinky tractor driver, but what's the one on the left? He seems to be quite small-scale and is operating four levers, suggesting to me that he might be a crane driver.
Can anyone provide a positive ID for the two non-Condon drivers?

The driver on the left operating the levers looks to be like the one from the Moko Mechanical Tractor.

The driver with the levers was also used on the early Moko excavators & bulldozers too. I'm not 100% sure about the middle one, but I don't think the moko/Lesney drivers had a locating pin underneath, but I may be mistaken.

I agree that the one on the left is the Moko crawler/bulldozer driver.
The middle one is not the Moko Lesney driver because if i) the pin, and ii) the Lesney version has one arm across his chest.

Great thread ,now where can I get 5 of the Moko ones?.?

Don't know, but PM me with an offer and you'll only need four!

I believe the driver in the middle is a Dinky from the 27d (340) Land Rover as used also on the 27 series tractor but the Land Rover driver has his feet cut off.
I had to get out my Dinky bible from Mike and Sue Richardson to refresh my memory a bit as I remember encountering this about 30 years ago when helping sort a collection. Is the right hand of yours missing?
I also remembering finding some slight differences as per their hats.
Here is a pic of the driver on the tractor and note the extension on his left foot.

Yes, it is! Well spotted!

Many thanks to all who contributed to this thread. Once again, the speed with which unknown models are identified by VBD experts is truly amazing!

If anybody can use either the Moko or the Dinky driver, please let me know. I can do the Dinky driver for the cost of the postage, but would be looking for a small additional contribution in the case of the crawler/bulldozer driver.
