I have seen photos of a US Army "Diamond T" tank transporter tractor unit fitted with rail wheels and used for MOW over here in the 1950s/60s. Model Rail built one from the "Matchbox" Diamond T kit (in OO scale) with assorted bits and pieces used to motorise it fairly recently. If you wanted to build something like this in O-scale the Corgi diecast Diamond T could be a good starting point. The truck you mention could well have a prototype, at least, something similar could have been converted post-war using an Army-surplus truck. Some of the creations using old army trucks as a base are astonishing!
