Hi George,

As the photo was taken at a USN base in Oakland, California, it would be unlikely that the tow tractor is a David Brown, anyhow, there are no similarities to a DB that I can see.

On a second look I think it is a Ford-Ferguson 9N aircraft tug, check out this website for a good example of an ex-USN one;
