It'll be interesting to see what they look like without the flash. They look quite bad but a bit of scree to camoflsge them should help.

The mantlet looks nothing like though. I wonder if it's actually supposed to be a Bofors 37mm AT gun not a PaK36. You can just see the pads the two gunners are laying on in the lower side shot, which is clearer on these photos than whether or not they're Germans . The mantlet is off again for the Bofors but the Bofors seems to have had a couple of different mantlets available. It's possible mantlets were an after sales thing like they were with the 40mm AA gun.

Most of the Bofors models I can find with a quick Google all use the same curved-back, almost staircase-shaped (not sure if there's a word for it; there probably is) gun shield, not the flat one on these models, but then again, the PaK 36 lacks the conical muzzle that the models in the OP have, and that the Bofors shares.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The crew look like there in the french armored troops/tank crew helmets, could they be french SA 47mm guns?

The SA 47mm gun had a flat gun shield. I think that a poorly sculpted PaK36 is probably the most likely option.
