On the previous picture: It actually appears to be an M 46 not 26. Note the postwar uniforms of the crew and the addition of the sand shields over the tracks. The use of a large star on the front and promenent white stencilling are more common on post war vehicles too.
Also, since the participation of the M 26 in Europe during the war was very limited and occured almost totally in the Winter of 44 - 45 and early spring of 45 the apparent weather conditions indicated by shirt sleeves and foilage would further support it being an M 46.

The picture above is of a Dodge 3/4 ton truck or sometimes designated as a "weapons carrier" or "power wagon." The vehicle type is usually WC 34.
