Later truck
|Those last couple of images are of the later versions of the truck - note that the lower section of the radiator grille is blanked off which is the main visual clue.
I don't really think of the Federals as tank transporters at all. ther were / are big trucks, but most of them seem to have been pulling fuel for the Army Air Corps / Army Air Force, or the wrecker version which pulled a semitrailer and was used for aircraft recovery.
