This guy is part number 0808/2 and was one of three special weapons Marines sculpted in the year before 2nd. Edition.
The 1993 catalogue which shows them says that the miniatures on that page are designed by Jes Goodwin and Normal Swales – not sure if it was a joint effort or whether one did the Devastators also shown and the other the special weapons.
This chap is Brother Hamilton in the April 1988 RT3 flyer and Bolter 10 070106/2 in the later catalogues.
He seems to be named after Neil Hamilton, who played Commissioner Gordon in the 1960s Batman TV show.
This model appears in the original run of Citadel Combat Cards as Gideon Fax, a Marine Medic in the Mentors chapter.
1987 on the tab!
You can see him in WD99:

This guy goes by Brother Lestrade, Brother Leanman or Bolter 9, depending on which catalogue/flyer you are looking at. Part number 070106/5.

He’s listed as Brother Lestrade in the Feb 1988 Astronomican, and Brother Leanman in the Sept 1987 White Dwarf 93 RTO1 listing and in the Feb 88 flyer.

LE2 was apparently the first Space Marine sculpted in 1984, according to the 1997 catalogue! Other sources give his sculpting date as 1985, however, so I have marked it as Year: Unknown until I find a tab that shows it definitively.
He turns up in the 1991 Blue catalogue as Bolter 5, part number 070121/42 which is right amongst the C100 marines as far as part numbers go. He’s a Bob Naismith sculpt.
