My little one pulled this out of her toy-box and said I had the same thing. Although not the same vehicles, the paint jobs are surprisingly similar, and the colour spot-on. The graphics are very close. In fact, if you look close at the roofs, you’ll see the exact same pattern, only turned sideways. The girl’s got a sharp eye!

I think Tyco and Matchbox used the same paint shop.

Cheers…

WHOA!! Interesting.. We know that mattel/hot wheels bought tyco and they did buy matchbox late 90's did they?
