Thanks!

Would the Cromwell crew fit for Korea, too?

These guys are incredibly generic. Nothing ties the Brits to a Cromwell or even war. They're just guys in pixie suits having tea.

The Americans are a group of US GIs in shirt sleeves. The boots are unbloused. They could be World War 2 or even into the 1950s and 60s. The double buckles aren't visible? Modify the pockets and helmets with covers and they'd work into the 1970s. They are that generic. Put on tanker helmets and they're a tank crew.

The 1943 tank suit was used there, so sure. I seem to recall hearing of them still being in use in the 1960s actually. It’s a fine garment that can even be converted to a sleeping bag.

They'd work just fine . Lots of photos of Commonwealth tanks crews in pixie suits, some on Cromwells, Churchills and Cents .

AC makes good , animated and different figures

The British figures are Ok but nothing exciting, no action poses...why is it that no one can do British figures and yet another British tank crewman holding a mug of tea... verlinden was doing that 20-30 years ago.

In short average British figures for an average diorama

And you have to look high and low to find American tank crew figures drinking "tanker juice" (coffee)

Hey, at least they aren’t pointing. That was the main activity performed by troops in the Wehrmacht.
