Because it seems like, this is a hard riddle, i give some help:
Both (#3 and #5) cars are from one manufacturer, which was located in the country of the puzzle-sender.

Good luck!  :)

I'm not absolutely sure, but I guess it should be the 1929 Magyar Általános Gépgyár (MÁG) "Magosupersix".

EDIT: Magomobil Taxi!  :D

There's no such thing as "later" version :) By 1928 the company was in serious financial trouble, not to mention the fact that Magotax production was stopped earlier
