Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field/Planetary Camera UBV images of three massive, compact multiple systems with the SNR 30 Dor B/NGC 2060 and 30 Dor C/NGC 2044 are discussed and illustrated. In two cases, WN+OB objects have been resolved into additional components to those previously known from ground-based observations, substantially reducing the luminosities of the WN stars and rendering them currently unidentified; in the third case, the components of a B+K composite-spectrum object have been clearly identified. The results are of significance for evolutionary interpretations of these massive stars and for determinations of the upper IMF in extragalactic systems.
