From what I can see, I would guess the truck shown above is more likely vacuum brake assist with vacuum brake for the trailer than air (pressure) brake. I base this on the little bit I can see of the lines to the cylinder and under the cab. The flexible connections look like simple hose clamped to tube which is more typical of vacuum than air brakes. Having said that, I believe air brakes of the WW2 era operated on lower pressure than current trucks so I could easily be wrong.
