1972?

I do not know exactly how old are these models. They were really battered, I managed to fix and repair and repaint, but they are still a bit fragile. A movement tray will save them on the battlefield.

I am quite sure that they are first series Minifigs, but I have looked in my library of old wargame books and I could not find the. Only the pose is very similar to other figures from Minifigs, for which I found references.
