What I tried to say was possible foes and now that I think about it with Iberia being a Dutch ally that pretty much left the British as their main concern in Africa.

Trying to find a reason for the convergent models we could use the way the Empire is divided. Maybe two different trains of thought, one for Africa and the other for South America.
In Africa, due to the thick African Bush common to the areas of the SAE and the distance from supply centers a well armored vehicle with good firepower, good combat range is the way to go. Meanwhile South American territories of the Empire are smaller and more urbanized, and IIRC kinda of flat making a Christie Type tank feasible for the region.

Actually, one design that could work in both theaters is the Christie, operating on tracks or wheels as needed.

The African terrain is punishing to vehicles and IIRC the Christie designs have some reliabily problems. In Africa with the supply and repair depots maybe hundred of miles away reliability will be a concern.

Heh, in the 1930s, there isn't a motor vehicle built that won't have reliability problems....

I suspect the issue, to some of us, is that it looked like ALL those designs were adopted for service in the RSAA, which is exceedingly unlikely. Tanks simply were not purchased in any quantity after WWI until around the mid 1930s.
