*Bump* as I have the middle figure and his brother. I've been reading up the last 2 days, but haven't seen it before. I would appreciate if anyone can identify it. It's brother is darker green without camo and with a red baret. Both have been 'colored in' with black felt pen or marker though. Seems I colored in the eyes and went on a rampage from there :/

Good question RB. I too have three of these fellas and have wondered in the past what the hell they are!!!
I believe they are used in the cover photo of the Casdon Assault Course. Perhaps along with the slight repaint 2 Para mentioned in the description. Could be wrong on that!!

I had the one on the left.
Actually, I don't think I did as such, but a friend of mine did, and I sort of acquired him! Harder plastic than the AF figures as I seem to recall. No ideas as to the origins. I also seem to recall a figures that had plastic arms legs and head, but a die cast metal body. That was weird!

The only marking I could find on my version of the middle figure was on the outside of his left leg, written on the side of the... what is it, a shovel, a flash light, a baton? Anyway, it says 'HongKong'. No (C) sign, no year, no producer.

Oh, Googling brought me the solution, I think: They are 'Military One' figures from 1982 by Porto Play:

I've seen a few kicking around and have been tempted to buy them, just coz they look so cool. Freight screwed that idea, but I'll nab some if I get the chance.
