If it is old Tank Corps Depot in France that'll be Bermicourt wont it? Bermicourt was Tanks HQ. Central Workshops was located at Erin in the Pas De Calais, moving down the road to Teneur in November 1917
Their's another 1940 ww1 tank on German ebay at the moment - I've added the full ebay caption to the pic . May add or may confuse more !

One more photo that came in the post today British WW1 tank used as a bunker or OP, looks to be at the same camp as the first photos in France [ same looking huts on the right of the photo ] Quite a heavy load of sand bags on top. Keith

Re the OP pics, in 1918 some British tanks were made/converted as carriers without guns, the boxes near those in the pics may indicate that the tanks/carriers were being used for that purpose.

Another view (full right side) of this tank appeared in the modell magazin War Album Vol.5 (pic 5) published by Argus in 1978. As published, the photo is rather overexposed so I haven’t uploaded a copy. It was credited to Sammlung Kössler. The caption reads: "A relic from WW1 photographed in France 1940. It is no longer clear whether this tank, which was evidently placed on the airfield as a protective measure against fragmentation, is of the 'Male' or 'Female' designation. Its number, 10020, could provide a clue." Clearly this was a 'Male' however.
