The unknown tank trucks are International 2,5 tons.

I wasn't correct when though that water trucks are White 6 ton vehicles in the background.

Juergen Kurz from Salzburg, Austria gave help with a better pic. The unknown trucks are International 2,5 ton trucks, used by the Seabees in the Pacific. Thank You Juergen!
