I think the mast may be a read hearing and that in fact it may be a portee for Wombat or may an M series 106 recoiless of US origins and the side door gives access to the winch to hand crank the weapon up into the load bed and the boxes n either sides carry the rounds.

How am I doing?
It looks like a recovery version, that mast is actually the jib. Ryan, is that the remains of a 2 pounder attack carrier in the other photo?
