That's a new one to me! I don't think it is a landing craft.
Notice the roll of track block over near the right edge of the photo. Also the duel wheel bogie behind the worker. I would guess it is some type of amphibians cargo carrier.
Interesting find!

It's not on display. Check the USMC mech museum site. It is listed there along with a number of other vehicles that are not on display.
Spot Report!
