Indeed, here are some more, gleaned from the thread
FWD HAR-1.
The first one comes from
Special: Van D-Day tot de Dam, the second one from
INFANTERIE CANADIENNE - NIMEGUE / CALCAR [link to FB]. Both were taken during the Canadian advance across the Dutch/German border in the Nijmegen - Calcar area.
Like Ed says, they were used for towing smoke generators to lay smoke screens to conceal advancing troops.
