That's a great collection! If you need more confirmation of their pedigree, there's an example on pg 93 of Rose's All-Colour Guide to Toy Soldiers (#43). He mentions that the empty-handed officer was produced by simply snipping off the rifle. They also appear on pg 355 of Joe Wallis' latest book, Soldiers of Greater Britain, which covers Britains' production up to 1924.

Pretty sure the Guards Officer is PO B range. Anyone able to ID the trooper on the right?

Just got a copy of Rose's All-Colour guide- what a great book, thanks for the tip Mike.
