Thanks for posting!
The first three are photoshopped. A much better job for the first one, but still photoshop...

The last shot of the green one looks like a home made chop job with lots of bondo to boot

They were factory made:

Image

Series IIA Forward Control

The Series IIA FC launched in 1962 was based on the Series IIA 2.25-litre petrol engine and 109 in (2,769 mm) chassis, with the cab positioned over the engine to give more load space. Export vehicles were the first Land-Rovers to get the 2.6-litre petrol engine. Most examples had an ENV rear axle, a matching front axle came later. Tyres were large 900×16 types on deep-dish wheel rims to spread the ground weight of this heavy vehicle. These vehicles were somewhat underpowered for the increased load capacity (1.5 long tons or 1,500 kg), and most had a hard working life. Less than 2,500 were made, and most had a utility body, but surviving examples often have custom bodywork. With an upgraded powertrain, they can be used as a small motorhome.

Sorry but that is not a Series 2A/B Forward control - something else - maybe something home made or even a prototype. This is a 2b. The 2a looks similar but the headlights are mounted up higher on the body. The 2a was a 4 cylinder and the 2b was 6 cylinder.
