Yep, that would cause the confusion. The one-piece solid rubber runflats are the most common, and very labor intensive. I haven't seen a 2-piece similar to what you're showing for FMTV tires, but I can't claim I've seen everything that's out there. There are 3-piece runflats available that seem to be more common, though they might actually come from MRAPs (might have something to do with some of the aluminum rims MRAPs have that don't break down as far as the steel rims, so the runflats need to come apart easier?). They can be bought pretty cheap (under $50/ea + shipping).ok so I googled around and I see that there are different kinds of run flats. There are the kind that seem to be one piece and I can see how you'd need some kind of crazy setup to get that in. And there are kinds that are split. I found a picture of the style I am linking here - mine were black, R20 sized, and used a bolt to draw together the halves. Note this picture is just SIMILAR.

My whole discussion was assuming that people were asking about how to deal with the common 1-piece runflats. I assumed that if they opened up their tire and saw 2pc or 3pc bolt-together variants, that would be a no-brainer on how to get it apart and out, and they wouldn't be posting here about it. Those 1pc runflats are terrible to deal with.
