A very chaotic mixture of clumsily drawn species from very different periods.
Iguanodon, Tyrannosaurus, Coelophysis, Diatryma, Pteranodon, Pterodactylus, and Dsungaripterus (top row, from right to left) by Design Practitioners in 'Bantam Knowledge through Colour PREHISTORIC ANIMALS'.
the Apatosaurus on 34/10-7 seems based on Ch. Knight,
the Tyrannosaurus on 34/10-8 seems based on Zallinger.
Some of the other images also seem familiar, but searching my literature did not yield any results. I am certain I have seen the theropod on M.S. 34/10-10 SOMEWHERE, but I am unable to find it. This is also the only dinosaur for which the reconstruction is not outdated.
