Merkava tank was completely developed in Israel and is considered one of the best tanks in the world. The layout of the Merkava (Chariot) is unconventional, with the turret and crew compartments to the rear of the vehicle and the engine up front. This was done to improve crew survival in the case of an armor-penetrating hit on front quarter.

The top three pictures aren't tanks, they're self propelled artillery. Maybe M109's. I like the girls, though!
Theo, I could be wrong, but I don't think the Merk sports a muzzle brake. The first and third pics may be SP arty. Maybe they're mounted on Merk hulls, but the rear hatch looks too big for a Merk.
There would be two M109s in that series ...
Cheers
It's true! Women do like bigger guns!
