There were two big Cats there, one towing a cable operated scraper which had been used on D Day and the other was for pushing the scraper when filling the box.

Someone gave you the wrong information, Jerry. That cable scraper is a Cat 435, which wasn't made until after WW 2. Most of the scrapers used in the war were made by LeTourneau. It doesn't really matter, I like old Cat iron no matter when it was made.
I didn't take a photo of the other green Cat but that was towing a cable operated scraper and that was green with a white star. The one in the background in my first photo is a more modern yelloe one.
