It looks like a slave start set up to me.

What does the fitting look like on the inside of the cowl? From the outside it could either be electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic connectors.

Also curious if any trace of the factory original paint shows up on these vehicles. A number of years back, one showed up in the Ft. Garry area of Winnipeg with an original Lindsey style box. It was the same RCAF Hazard Yellow paint job, but underneath on one door the original wartime green was visible with the wartime RCAF markings on it. I think the yellow paint was a postwar RCAF thing to make this sort of equipment more visible in the air field environment. I think Rob Love may have eventually purchased the Ft. Garry truck.
