They look like some old 25mm Barry Minot figures  see http://bobthepainter.blogspot.com/2020/05/sudanese-infantry.html (http://bobthepainter.blogspot.com/2020/05/sudanese-infantry.html)

Thanks for your answer ..yes they look very similar ..so on this case, as I read that Minot Sudan range was in fact classic 25mm, I guess they ll not be compatible with the majority of  28mm ranges ..a pity cause they look nice

possibly not. the bayonets look very different, and those Minot figures look to have a smooth sculped metal base to the figures, but the mystery ones don't.
The sculpted base probably rules out Falcon (the only figures I have seen from them were smooth topped) and likewise Minifigs.
The lack of figure variants possibly rules out Foundry and Old Glory.
Dixon and Artizan don't do Askaris.

so they are a puzzle.

I think the minis are from the Sudan range from Redoupt Enterprises
