Mike,
I looked at the photo first before reading your message, and immediately recognised the lubrication unit as a Tecalamit. It looks identical to the ones used by the British Army and mounted on a trailer with canvas curtains on the side of the roof. The unit would have a stationary engine driving an air compressor to work the pumps. I recall working on one these many years ago.

At least two more were in service- looking different to the other one.
