Snow Fence/Sand mat
I don't know the exact designation of the smaller rolls which I previously called Snow fence...there probably is a military term for it. Here are two pics from the desert showing a similar type of mat rolled up on the fenders of vehicles, ready for use. One difference is that the slats appear to be inside a double layer of canvas? which would probably provide better traction in sand.

Chespale & Matting
Another post by me following from Wim's post of this site which shows amphibious tests etc in 1943. On the 3rd page, second down on left hand column is a clip showing (~I think) Chespale Trackway and on the same page, third down left and right are two clips showing the manufacture of "Hessian Wire Mat"
There's also some clips showing RE & RAF plant (scrapers/Graders Etc.) practising entry & exit from landing craft.
