Default Dieppe Pourville museum...vehicles, where are they now?

Back in the late 80's/90's there used to be a museum in a bunker near Dieppe-Pourville, France. Most remember the museum because of the vehicles that littered the grounds around the bunker; left in the elements which meant a hard life, especially for the Soft skins. It seems the museum closed in the late 90's.
Here is the bunker as it sits now:

I am curious what happened to the vehicles....I know from Maurice that a Morris CS8 ended up in Belgium, and from Wheels&Tracks magazine and online we know the Normandy-veteran PzKfw IV ended up in the Becker collection that loaned it to the, now also closed, Normandy Tank museum.

Attached are a few picture my dad took when we visited the museum....(I might just be one of the children in the picture ). Please feel free to add your pictures of the museum as well.....and I would love to know if other vehicles have lived on, either restored or as parts sources.
