The item "No idea at all" is the barrel carriage for the 8" gun/240mm howitzer. You show them having an 8" Gun M1. The guns were assembled/disassembled with a truck-mounted crane. The Barrel rode on that carriage, the carriage rode on a similar one. Each was towed behind a full-track prime mover (M31, M35 or M6).
