That crew will prove very useful, not just for that vehicle.
I trust Empress will be selling them separately.

I have just received a couple of sets of the Light Car Patrol crew, they'll be perfect for our early 30's TGAA games.

Here they are posed in a Models Of Yesteryear Crossley...

I must have a look at the crews, & my horde of die-casts.

Okay painted up the LCP crewmen (my paintwork doesn’t do these figures justice!) and compared them to my other ‘28mm’ Aussies. The figures are my first Empress Miniatures ones and are probably more in scale in overall body build than the ones I have from other makers. Height wise they compare well with others I have (we just have to imagine the Lewis gunners standing upright) but because of their ‘correct’ proportions they even make the old Foundry figures look like musclemen!
