most of these are 1.lend lease/captured from ww2. 2. amalgamations of different lend lease/captured ww2 vehicles. 3. prototypes
Doesnt matter, they can still be added.

the first picture was a Type 62 turret in a SU-76M hull, turret fixed.

This is only a mockup using a spare Stuart turret on an SU-76M hull, probably only created for the museum.
This is also likely a bad museum restoration, most M10s in Taiwan look like this with fake barrels.
This is an official scale model of the Type 85-II.

It could also be a water-cooled M2 .50 cal, China had a few of them that you can see on their M3A1 Scout Cars.
After doing more research I discovered that these vehicles were Pakistani, not Chinese, so unfortunately there is no relationship between China and the Marksman turret.
I think this is a movie prop used in one of the Wolf Warrior movies. The main tank featured is a mock-up ZTZ59D, but they also used the Type 62 since it looks similar.
This is a non-functional monument, I forget where but it’s outside some factory that is related to the production of tracked vehicles (not tanks). It’s the chassis of a PLZ83-family (WZ321) with a Type 59 turret.
Not quite, I believe it’s a newly-fabricated turret specifically to imitate the T-62. You can see the circular hole for the “gunner’s sight” that imitates the T-62, and the cupola is also not correct to the Type 62. Also many other small details are missing like the periscopes, etc.
The main reason why I believe it’s not a T-34-85 turret, besides the question of “where would the turret have come from”, is that the T-34-85’s turret extends far forward of the turret ring, while the M18/M64’s does not. The slope of the turret side also looks wrong, and the space under the turret bustle is too large. There also does not appear to be a commander’s cupola.

Nice analysis, I have to wonder if it really is the Type 64 though. The gun doesn’t appear to have a muzzle brake, something that I believe was present even on the first Type 64 prototype. But I suppose this video is too grainy to achieve any real conclusion.
twin barrel mortar in the last picture?
yea, the information is unknown, it just sits quietly there

PLZ10, unknown wheeled 25mm or 30mm SPAAG, and PLZ10 turret? Not sure
CA-10 (ZiS-150) with a 57mm Type 59 (S-60) on the bed. My guess is that this is just a “restoration” from leftover stocks and not functional as an actual firing platform.
ZBD86 (WZ501)-based command vehicles, possibly WZ506? Other vehicles in the family include the WZ505 (“Type 86-I”) with 25mm autocannon, WZ504 ATGM carrier, WZ503 APC, and (allegedly) WZ502 mortar carrier, but the number was reused from the ZBD04.

Very long post!
Spoiler
Unknown MBT prototype. It resembles the 1223, but it also has some equipment seen only on the Type 80 and later (smoke grenade rack, rear turret basket).
Spoiler
Prototype of Type 85-IIAP. Notice the older machine gun (Type 54 instead of QJC88) and lack of composite armor on the hull.
Uncertain Type 85 variant, possibly Type 85-III. It has the elevated engine deck and new FCS seen on the Type 85-III, so maybe its that without ERA.
Spoiler
Type 96 with FCS from MBT-2000. It is not the MBT-2000 turret, you can see the bolts on the top of the turret are still original.
Spoiler
Unknown truck with machine gun. In the past i thought this was CA-10/ZiS-150 with Type 54/DShK, but it looks too big. The footage is supposedly of Chinese troops on a train heading to Korea, so 1950s.

M10 before modification. The barrel looks just a little shorter than normal, possibly the result of the de-militarization of the vehicles.
Type 69 with modified engine deck. Supposedly its used for testing gas turbine engines but there is not much evidence.
Spoiler
Type 59/69 with 100mm Rifled gun, IR lamp, and extra thing sticking out the turret left. It also looks like the dome vent on top is missing.
