Neither, as DaleCooper had correctly identified it was referring to the WW2 Comet cruiser tank.
DaleCooper has the answer, they are the Fighting Vehicle (FV) numbers of British MBTs, the Centurion Mk10, Chieftain, Challenger 1 and then FV4034 Challenger 2.

I only got there after first considering the DH88 (the other De Havilland Comet), the defunct electrical retailer, a former pub and the boy's comic.
I think it's time someone else had a go, so open floor...

No - I will give an early clue and say that it was not on the mission plan for Apollo 11, one astronaut took part whilst another simply stood by and watched

No... It is something Aldrin did that Armstrong did not

One of them refused to take photos of the other didn't he?

Nope - nothing at all to do with that... Armstrong had the camera most of the time - there is, in fact, only one picture of his face
Anyway, Peter Try again

My next guess... they couldn't rest after touchdown so they carried out their EVA onto the surface earlier than planned?

WINNER WINNER - CHICKEN DINNER!
Aldrin took it on the moon moments after securing Eagle - this is indicated by Aldrin coming on the comms and asking for some moments of silence. He then unpacked the small goblet, poured the wine out and drank it with some communion bread. Armstrong, although he did not take part in it, stood at the back of Eagle and watched respectively
The command module, therefore, is yours, TheEdge
Although I shall take the floor I feel like pointing out once again your facts are not entirely correct. While the Mass was indeed conducted in secret it wasn't unplanned, Aldrin was allowed to do it but asked to keep it private as NASA was in a legal fight (America!) over astronauts and religion. He received permission from Deke Slayton to do it before they even left Earth as long as it was done in radio silence. For a change please check your facts...
Anyway.
What connects a town in Pennsylvania, a mountain in Australia and a gorge in the Saarland in Germany?

It was not in the Mission TimeLine - therefore, it was unplanned... I know as I have a replica of the mission timeline sold at Woolies years ago
I see your poster from Woolies and raise you Buzz Aldrin himself...

Woolies, that's an unimpeachable source in my opinion.
