The tracks in the photo in post #1 are rubber belts moulded over transverse bars that are linked by flexible steel cables. As Richard has said this was a system developed by Kegresse in France and heavily developed for the WW2 American half tracks. The last photo in the last post shows an intermediate Ford based design shortly before the standard M3 armoured half track design became set in stone for the duration of the war.
The basic concept of cable reinforced rubber tracks with centre guide horns fixed to steel cross bars is of course universal in mini excavators today ! David
