Not sure it’s a one-off, it seems fairly elaborate with those curved armour plates. But it’s proving frustratingly hard to find out more about that US Navy one — what part of, “Google, I want things that refer to the Navy” doesn’t that stupid site understand?

But in trying that, I did come across yet another, captioned as a “Caterpillar D-8 Tractor with Armored Cab”:
