I'm almost thinking that it's some sort of EOD equipment. The thing on the rear looks like it could be a blast resistant box, which is/could be on the end of a long boom, allowing the truck to back up near the suspected explosive, then deploy the blast resistant box to cover it, presumably for a controlled detonation.
Or it could be some sort of large movable weight to allow the truck to perform its own tractor pull events.

I believe we have a winner. I was thinking that there was no barrel visible, but I suppose it rides under cover during transport.

Thanks a lot Stug ! ! !
I was browsing the net but didn't find anything. Incredible to see this somewhat rare vehicle here in Mons, Belgium.
I am pretty sure it was en route for the Eurosatory Exhibition.
Now I am glad to have been lucky enough to see one and share it with you.
Thanks you very much again !
