According to the report they were TBS 30 type: no idea what they looked like).

See http://www.geocities.com/marmonherrington/tractor.html for an ad showing what M-H tractors looked like in general.

Anyway, also on the US mission list there is a reference to 45 medium tractors Ford/MH, intended for hauling field guns and bridging equipment. Now I was initially thinking about tracked tractors, but of course these could have been wheeled ones just as well. What vehicle could this have been?

If the reference mentions Ford/Marmon-Herrington they surely were trucks, not M-H tracked tractors. I'll see If I can dig up anything on COE type Ford/M-H trucks delivered to the NEI.
