The scraper it's pulling doesn't seem to be a LeTourneau.

Don't know what the crawler is. Might even be European.

Its a Vickers Vigour VR160 , four track wheels are quite distinctive .

A well ahead of its time British dozer , because it had full suspension it could be driven very quickly and operators wrecked them . Some contractors blanked off the top gears , they were very productive on scraper work.
