What I see here are large six's with tranny's. I own a M35 due and a half .
MINE IS A 1953 Studebaker with a Contenital . It doesn't matter what year a M35 is a M35 is a M35 , Studebaker and Reo along with other companies took the military contract , My truck is bolt for bolt the same as the Reo.

I can see in the fore ground what appears to be a air compressor that looks the same as mine . These are Multi fuel engines.
During Vietnam the military upgraded the Duces from the motor I have to the multi fuels.
I'd say these are change out motors that were stock piled and left there and forgotten. To be used or sold as surplus later.
The fact mine was never changed out makes mine a little more rare as far as M35's go not that M35's are rare but they are more rare under the Studebaker name.
