First one is Battle K9330/MQ-W of 226 Sqn, abandoned at Reims on 16 May 40.
Anyone for the 61 Sqn Hampden QR-U. I think it will be earlier than 1942, the squadron had re-equipped with Manchesters by then.

Joel,
PM- was the code of 103 Sqn.
Records indicate that it was abandoned by 226 Sqn. See also here:

Andy is correct

Aircraft was heavily photographed and one of these photos clearly shows the
code to be MQ-W

HI Joël,

As I do not doubt that you buy and read the excellent French magazines (without heavy tax fees!) you have a profile and a complete photo page 46 of Batailles Aériennes (LELA Presse) n°67 of this Fairey Battle
