To answer the tractor question first. Of course not, there is nothing
copyrightable in this image.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Trademarked is never a
reason for deletion. The logo is clearly PD-textlogo and is de minimis
in that situation -- i.e. it's inclusion is incidental
In relation to the car in Tunisia, it could be trickier. It would
depend a lot on Tunisian law. It could be de minimis, it might not be.
It would depend.

If copyright holders are happy to have their materials on Commons it
is the copyright holder who needs to speak up for this, and there are
ways to go about this. Otherwise
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:PRP is the policy that is drawn
upon here.

What about this file?

The image is of a car, and the car has a logo and design motif on it that
is surely eligible for copyright. COM:PACKAGING doesn't seem to refer to
any packaging specific jurisprudence, so presumably the restrictions on the
use of copyrighted logos and design elements apply to any photographs in
which they are featured? That would seem to be the case based on the
Trademark policy.
is it a correct logical extension of the rule to say that any photograph
which features a copyrighted element, where the owner of the copyrighted
element is not the uploader or has not otherwise released the element under
a compatible license, must be deleted?
Another example -
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2012-12-14_Provinzial-Demo.JPG
In that photo, the logo of Fendt, a farm equipment manufacturer, appears.
Based on the trademark policy, should this be deleted?
