Generator or compressor in the MBT/T3 1/4 ton??? Interesting that it is disconnected from the jeep too.
I'd say generator to run the radio equipment. Probably loud hence the distance between the two.
That makes sense because the radio jeep is not an MZ (dedicated radio jeep). The radio in an MZ runs solely off the jeep.
Glider's in the background???

My guess, Burma or Philippines.
A lot of bloused boots, looks like Airborne.
I see a few Marine Corps covers in this photo.
I could be wrong, but I suspect that a closer look will reveal that the 'Marine Corps covers' are actually WWII US Army issue hats, i.e. 'Ranger caps'.
I'm still leaning towards this picture being of a CBI Theatre operation into Burma.
