Rednine, thanks for all the pictures. These trucks are definitely the Sterling DDS150 rated at 7-1/2 tons , I think. It is not one of the C-2 type airfield wreckers, and it is an entirely different model than the DDS235 like the Stuart wrecker. I believe these trucks were built for the Navy, and that they were used as torpedo handlers. Take a close look at the body in the factory photo again. I'm sending you a PM.
Edit: I have just come across some info that says these trucks went to the U.S. Navy Bureau of Ordnance.
