'Morning, Les, the crawler is a International Harvester TD-14, I'm not sure about the forklift. The crawler in your picture has the Hughes-Keenan crane attachment, but as far as I know it wasn't used for pipeline laying but for various lifting duties around bases during the war. I've included a couple of pics, one of a TD-14 being used by USAAF mechanics to swap an engine on a B-17, the other of a TD-14 in a storage yard of some sort.

CHIMO! Derek.
