Here's a better version of this photo, plus another one showing the same 20-cwt trailer. Obviously it has been modified with hoops and a tilt.

The second photo gives some more insight into it's use. It looks like some kind of mobile workshop. There is a stack of cylinders to the right and a small sign set up in front of the trailers and the cylinders. What could it have been used for? Is it artillery related, like for filling recuperators (seeing some Mack NM artillery tractors parked next to it)?
