Leonard Frances McQuirk?

Can you help place these with a manufacturer? They are mostly marked 'L.F.Mc...1971, 1972' or '1973' with some of the SF figures (I've put straight on my smallscaleworld blog) having the later 1974 date. There is nothing about the man on Lost Mini's wiki or TMP, so I'm guessing they were sold under another name or commissioned by one of the larger companies?

The Roman archer in green tunic is marked with his full name 'Leonard Frances McQuirk' as is the Samurais horse.

Any Ideas?

Unknown Siege Guns

Hi Guys, can you help me put a name to these? I hope they're easy to identify, just unknown to me as a metal newbie!

The adjustable gun behind may be a second firm, as they're not marked, however they have been sanded, also they're the only ones with bases. The little one to the left of the back row has a (home made?) wooden/balsa carriage/base.

The front row are all marked 'MFA' which I assume is Medieval Field Artillery, with - from the left - a number; 2, 4, 7 and 5 (A gardener-gun...of sorts!!!). All are also multi-part ( well, at least two part!) kit construction.

Also any luck on the Panits Lazlo info. John?

Closer inspection of the adjustable bombard thing suggests a faint '74' on one of them, if that helps?
