The brown and cream car is a Mettoy Pullman car; these were made pre-war and Post-war. They made several versions:
The tank-car seems to have Carette couplers; I think it is this one (from around 1910): https://www.historytoy.com/car...thografiert-ohne-puf
The green passenger can might be Bub? Any way, part of a cheap "Kaufhausbahn"(departmentstore) set.

Jim,
The tank car you show also seems to have (bent) Carette couplers.

could be. I thought they were bent Bing couplers.
Yep the Pullman is def a Mettoy (UK) and the green pass is likely Bub/Distler from the U.S. zone ( I think several manufacturers blanket made these for cheap post war sets as Fred pointed out , or they were made in one place and included in several different generic boxed sets ?)
My Mettoys
And others as part of a " Schools" Locomotive set in this case Eton
