Most of what you see there is not in fact oleo, but the 'tube' the oleo slides in,
the actual oleo IIRC was only about 2-3ft long, and fitted inside the tube, connected
to the aircraft structure by a shortening linkage that meant that the overall leg would shorten and fold
as it retracted into the bay.
The VC pic is looking well, I remember the groundschool instructors referring to the Bucc
cockpit as " an ergonomic slum", it was OK once you got used to it! The main feature being the IFIS instrumentation.

This is the first one I worked on, at Laarbruch @ late in 1981, doing the inner wing and rib-interspar 80 work to
