What year are these photos? Are they all 1916?

I'm not sure about this bill car but I think all the rest were taken after the Ringlings bought the show on 10/22/07.
The one of the elephants unloading is dated 9/11/15 in Kokomo, Indiana.

the advance car is for the 1898-1902 European tour. The 'Altona' number showing it to be in Europe not UK. It returned to Stoke-on-Trent to be reliveried for the "Buffalo Bill" tour of 1903-06. Modified (?) it was sold but dropped out of sight
