My sources says:

The 44M Tas was a Hungarian medium/heavy tank design of World War II. The only prototype built was destroyed when the Manfred Weiss factory was bombed in 1944.
 
I was leaning to a Panhard as the drivetrain looks close to the early EBR, but the topside looks more like a Skoda
 
It is a German Magarius ARW. It was meant to replace the KFZ 3, they sent the one prototype to the Soviet Union for testing but when the relationship between Germany and the USSR got complicated in 1932 it was "sent back" by the soviets but nothing more is known of what happened to the sole prototype after that.
