The first one and last shots look like a Bristol Pegasus.

Happy to stand corrected but to me they look like Cheetah X & IX (Airspeed Oxford and Avro Anson respectively)

The first photo is a Bristol Pegasus, but I am pretty sure the last one is a Bristol Jupiter, used in Westland Wapitis in Oz, amongst other types.

That's because the British designed some of the ugliest aircraft ever with bizzare names to go with them. Don
