Can it be restored? I'd need more pics of each, and one of the Hubley without the caked on mud. The Wyandotte... Maybe

Ah, yeah that one is too far gone. I'm amazed it still looks recognizable, I found the remnants of a 1970s Nylint trailer in the woods behind my house, it was just two pieces of "metal"(rust, with hints of metal, lol) with two plastic wheels.
The Hubley is diecast and cannot rust, as long as there aren't any breaks in the castings, it should be a breeze to restore. My steam shovel truck was metal detected by the previous owner, both front wheel mounts are broken but the the rest of it is in great shape, even with spots of the original paint! The axles and wheels are a different story lol
Either way, they make great decorations!
Also, here is a similar Hubley to yours, no paint but you get the idea. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1920s-cast-iron-mack-stake-truck-3-252839124
