Maybe Valkyrie or Trebuchet, but they may lack connection to CBT.

The one on the left is a Blackjack.
The other one is a bit hard to guess on, it looks a bit thick for a Trebuchet. The right torso looks like it holds a large missile rack, though.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the mystery mech is a Wolf Trap.

Nope, WTF lacks actuators in right arm. The legs and head looks like those of Valkyrie, but those LRMs look strange.

Left one is a Blackjack. Right one kinda looks like a frankenmech. Looks alot like a Valkyrie except for the placement and number of holes on RT. Funny thing is, it is standing in the stance of the Victor but Victor does not have those holes there either.
-edit- Trebuchet has very skinny legs.

It looks like a Blackjack and a Whitworth.

Yeah, that's a whitworth on the right. Of course I would recognize my own mech.
You can see the LRM-10 in the left torso and the distinctive head. Also the blocky form of the torso and legs which support the "whitworth sled."

Sorry, correction: you can see the right side LRM launcher.

Blackjack and a Valkyrie Its a bad cast of it though. It looks like the right arm is a laser and the left has a hand. The head also dosent look like a whitless...er Whitworth.

It looks like one of the British BTech 'Mechs. I don't know them as well, but, I don't think it's anything that's been mentioned yet. I too thought Whitworth and Treb, but, I'm positive that it's none of the above.

The more I look the more it looks like 15 holes in the RT. Add the right arm lasers and it gets much closer to a Trebuchet than it should.
But the head is really odd. It looks like the mech is wearing headphones. 
FASA had a box set of plastic Battletech minis, two each of Atlas, Blackjack, Catapult, Hunchback, Locust, Pather, Trebuchet, Valkyrie.
There was another box with one each of Archer, Battlemaster, Crusader, Griffin, Locust, Marauder, Phoenix Hawk, Rifleman, Shadow Hawk, Stinger, Thunderbolt, Warhammer, Wasp, Wolverine.
It would make sense if those two were from the same box, at least.

The left one is clearly a BlackJack. (really no JagerMech!)
The right one seems to be a Valkyrie:
The LRM is on the wrong side and seems to be too big but the shape of the legs, the protruding chest, the single weapon without hand in the right arm and the shape of the head (including the "headphones") calls it a VLK!
Some of the plastic-mechs were designed rather bad!
For a TBT there has to be a double-barreled right arm and the legs had to be slim.
The Wolftrap has a bigger right arm weapon without a lower arm actuator and has it´s LRM-10 in the center of its chest.
The Whitworth has a broad flat chest with rather small LRM tubes, no left hand, slim legs and a more helmet like head with a laser on top.
