Possibly something akin to the Roto-trailer?

Just a guess, but with the tires emblazoned "flammable" in huge letters on the sidewalls, could it be some kind of fuel stowage for an armored flame thrower?

You guys are quick off the mark!, Evidently these are fuel bladders for the M113 believe it or not. I think made for towing a shore in combat zones. Cheers Andrew.

Something that's odd about this is that it evidently has a hookup for airbrakes, judging by the little bracket just back of the lunnette. No M113 I have ever seen had an air supply.
