WW2 vehicles

It seems to be a recurring topic on various forums: what vehicle scale matches 28mm miniatures?

I'm a fan of That Looks About Right (TLAR), but I know that there are strong opinions out there about what the "right" scale is. Through the years I have taken pictures of the vehicles in my collection next to an Artizan WW2 British commando miniature based on a 25mm GW type (slotta)base. 

Maybe the pictures are helpful when you can't take your own minature and hold it next to a vehicle you are considering to buy. All mentioned scales are claims by the manufacturer.
