The 1940 project creeps glacially on, this time stuff from Pithead in the shape of Laffly S20TL troop carriers and a Kegresse machine gun carrier representing a light mechanised division Dragoon rifle squadron.

Thanks guys, comments greatly appreciated as always.
Hello
Nice !
but I wanted to add : they are Dragons portés ( = carried ).
the word porte means door. ;)
Better? =)
just "Dragons portés"
It's not that important,
thank you
I'm thinking of getting some of the Pendraken Dragons Portés but can't make out some of the details I want to know from the pictures.
FRE39 Dragons Portes, foot
FRE40 Dragons Portes, officers
FRE41 Dragons Portes, FM24/29 team, walking
Am I correct in thinking
They are all wearing the Adrian helmet.
They are all wearing the vareuse (tunic)
They are all in light kit, not carrying their packs.
Pictures of the range here

Not sure if this gives more detail than the catalogue shots?

To answer my own question (after Pendraken kindly sent me some samples)
Dragons Portes (FRE39, FRE40 and FRE41) all wearing tunic (vareuse), ankle length trousers (no puttees or gaiters) and Adrian helmet. No backpacks.
Chasseurs (FRE33, FRE34, FRE35) all wearing tunic (vareuse) trousers with puttees to knee and Adrian helmet. No backpacks.
Chasseurs in Gaiters (FRE42 same as Chasseurs but with gaiters instead of puttees.
Chasseurs Alpins - same as Chasseurs in gaiters, Adrian helmet with goggles. No backpacks.
