Looks good
But if you keep annotating every unit with the name of everybody who has ever done anything to it you're going to start running out of space very soon

Good point.
I generally take off the other peoples names when the unit is no longer easily recognisable as their work (I give them a nod in the readme though).

Judging from those human figures, I think you've got the scale wrong. The Bren carrier was quite small, and usually carried only 3 men (the crew of a Bren light machine gun, hence the name). Based on old film I've seen, it stood only about waist high.
The bogie wheels need another look as well. Sorry to be picky.

Hmmm, i have to agree... since i've seen one, in the war museum, and in photos, its only waist high, ican fit only about 3-4 men, and its quite sallow, also its not a hugh tank its quiet small

I've read that they could carry up to 6 soldiers as well as the crew of 3. They were the main armoured troop carrier used by the Commonwealth militaries, so they must have been practical in this role

You're right about their carrying capacity, still they were small as armoured vehicles go. Here's a pic I found with people aboard:

So what is the concensus? I read also that the Bren Carrier (also called Universal Carrier) had the capability to carry extra men beyond the standard crew. As for the guys in back, their helmets are the same size as the guys in front, so I just made them kind of standing or kneeling over the edge of the walls. After looking at tecumseh's pic, I dont know that it is too far off?
You need to change the track, to the same as the vickers tank maybe.
Also with the boxes in the back, if you just have men its ok, according to history, if they carried ammo boxes and all sorts 2-3 men were need only, but when carrying men, two at the front, 3-4 at the back.
It needs to be smaller, like compared to the Pz Mark ! its just smaller than that in scale, not listen to that if it stuffs things up.

Giz... that MLRS doesn't look too bad... you just need to work on the left side of the crew compartment (it looks like it comes down at a 90 degree angle when it should be 45-90), and those slats should not be black (they look like open windows), and then do some slight work on the launcher tubes and you should have a pretty sleek unit.
I did the Australian flags and Grothgar made the Chinese flag
