The picture was taken in October 1965 and it show a movement by Indonesian Army in the streets of Jakarta after the failed coup - allegedly initiated - by the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). First one, a Toyota Land Cruiser ambulance from the 1960's, then a Daimler Ferret armoured car, and then an Alvis Saladin (FV601) armoured car.
Another Alvis Saladin (FV601) armoured car. It's a six-wheeled armoured car built by Alvis, and fitted with a 76mm gun. Used extensively by the British Army, it replaced the AEC Armoured Car that had been in service since World War II.
This one is a Soviet GAZ-69, probably a personnel carrier or maybe a load carrier. GAZ-69 is a four-wheel drive light truck, produced by GAZ (ГАЗ, or Gorkovsky Avtomobilnyi Zavod, Gorky Automobile Factory) between 1953 and 1956 and then by UAZ, in 1956–1972, though all of these cars were commonly known as GAZ-69s. Extremely popular in the Soviet Union, it was copied by a number of foreign companies
