I am trying to tell if these mounted knights are Johillco or Sonsco. I can't find any markings on them. Thanks for the help. If you need additional photos, let me know.

Caveat to start: I'd never heard of the Sonsco marque before your post. And my knowledge of nonBritains hollowcast figures is limited. The above selection of knights is on eBay right now, advertised as Johillco. It's not totally clear, but it seems the usual Johillco embossing of ENGLAND is visible on the horse hindquarters armour. If it's just an ornamental design, it isn't repeated on the other side of the figure (seller has a photo of that side, too). There are simplifications in the sculpt and painting of your figures, notably the swivel joint and arm. That's something that might be expected in a post-WWII Japanese producer such as Sonsco.
The other difference that I noticed is my figure has the drain whole in the horses head and on the photo you supplied the hole is on the knights head.
Thank you for your post.
