I thought FW did at one stage make some resin vehicles blatantly based on the even more ancient Battlewagon plastic kit which was already OOP by then. But if these were those, I'd expect some copyright wording.
Just maybe they're home casts of someone's own conversion of the BW? But if so, someone's gone to a lot of trouble with the track suspension, compared with simply keeping the original suspension...

Are you sure that isn't a forgeworld model? It sure looks like one

They're Forge World Ork Gunwagons. They're out of production. They cost 45 GBP each in the 2008 catalog.

I think so. Because they were making the master models by cutting up GW and FW models and adding details, it was relatively little extra work to build a few variants, for the benefit of customers who didn't want identical looking models.
