Wim, I don't believe the bulldozer in the museum is the same as the one that arrrived on Landing Zone "Z" on Monday, Sept. 18, 1944. The one in the Airborne Museum 'Hartenstein' was bought in 1999 from a seller in Belgium and as far as I know has never been presented as such. Interestingly, the original Clark-air is shown in a German newsreel taken in Oosterbeek after the germans re-occupied the town. Derek.
