Country: | Nice drawing! I always preferred Commando books where the drawings of the aircraft were accurate looking 
Here's one to have a go at, it is a bit obscure. 
Is there any sort of ruling on the types of pictures posted here? Do they have to be '30's/WW2 or can you post anything? | |

lol, fair enough. scratch that as a source then, or better still - don't announce where they come from
As to your pic, I haven't a clue - it looks a bit 1932, but the '38 Janes is my oldest source. I shall have to dig deep or wait for somebody else to get it.
btw, are unbuilt projects allowed or must they have flown? Some unbuilt projects are obviously just a designers doodles but some progressed quite far without flying obviously. | |

As you pointed out 'designer doodle' numbers would be in the 'tens' of thousands. | |

Country: | I found it, the Bleriot 111! I did think it was a Bleriot but didn't want to guess in case I was miles out and looked stupid, lol.
"if they weren't constructed or at least a mock-up that was photographed, " that sounds like a very sensible demarcation.
Here's one that shouldn't be difficult, I include it here because I like it

Country: | Looks like a T-6 with a raised and reprofiled rear fuselage, for a movie maybe? | |

Edit - Can't be, the tail shape is wrong.

Country: | Looks more like a Wirraway, though the USAAF symbol... 
And the span looks a bit short for either a T-6 or a Wirraway, and it apears to be a single-seater, possably a Boomerang, that insignia still bothers me though...
