Marx Army

The MARX military vehicles series really do remind me of Century /JR21 toys. We know that the C21 Mobile Bridge carrier is probably the same body as the Marx Tank (above top). I've also noticed a similarity, albeit less clear, between the Marx Amphibious Vehicle  (second from bottom) and the JR21 Missile launcher (bottom). I wonder if there is a JR21 version of the Marx Armoured Personnel Carrier (second from top) out their in the Anderverse? [sorry about the mouse!]

ive got a c21 bridge layer tank somewere and its body is different from the marx tank. Loosely based on a Chaffee chassis, the c21tank is much poorer construction than the marx version and slightly flatter and longer.
