Is the tractor like vehicle at the top of the second image a form of track mobile / car mover? The wheel configuration looks like it would allow two wheels inside the gage and two outside.

Given the built date on the car is 5-56 and the setting for my layout is fall 1956, what would be the actual color of the deck? It just does not look right as it is now."
