A search of google suggests it might be something called a Federal F-55-AF. I'm really not sure though. Perhaps it is related?

Federal F-55-AF was a license built version of the Coleman CF-55-AF.  Could be that one but the only other pics I can find online show a cab mounted on it so hard to say for sure.  Another Peacemaker tug was the MB-2 but the pic is definitely not one of those.

Where did you get the pic from.

Its scanned from page 23 of the Squadron Signal book, B-36 in Action, but it does say what it is.
