If I had to guess, I would suggest it was some kind of a modification kit for moving guns, possibly without their limbers. The trails on the 25 pounder, for instance, will foul with the towing vehicle in some cases. Their "spades" are very close to the towing ring. The kit does appear to be somewhat light duty however.....not sure how it would stand up to cross country operation.
Personally, I do like having a hitch on the front of a vehicle. It is perfect for pushing guns, trailers, or casualties into tight spots or onto transports. But again, this looks a little light duty for pushing.
