Good eye ThunderboltFan. It certainly looks like these tanks are laugered in for the night. They certainly seem to be settled in and there is some sort of map coordinates meeting going on in the background.
With all that loose stuff on the engine deck and the tarpaulin dangling near the idler wheel, this tank isn’t going anywhere soon! It looks more like they are preparing for or have finished an artillery shoot. Note that each tank has a large hole dug behind it.
