Um, why can't they be younger than 140? The models you're looking for
were released with/for Adeptus Titanicus, which goes back into the 11x
issues!

Anyway, you really shouldn't need order numbers to get the above models
-- I know, because I've ordered them, and I don't know what the model
numbers are. Just specify Vindicator Mk.I (*not* 2!), and the old metal
Land Raider. And the metal Rhino -- I really doubt they've redone that
mini. Note that with the re-release of the metal Vindicator, the old
one may well be unavailable now -- GW does prefer that you only buy
their newest & greatest, so to speak. But give it a shot, regardless.

As to what they look like, the Land Raider & Rhino are basically just
like the plastic model we know & love, though the sides aren't always
straight 'cause the mold for the center part is a bit worn. The
Vindicator Mk.I is a rhino -- same side pieces -- with a cylindrical gun
on the front, rather smaller than the gun on either the Mk.II or the
Mk.III IIRC.
