The turn signal box had screw terminal connections on top, and the wires connecting to it had ring terminals. I recall that box being under the hood near the steering column? Or was that the 715?
Consensus seems to be that a ETM on the Caiman II was never released by BAE prior to the Sealy plant closure. Everything went in the trash. The Meritor axles are not supported either. Great looking rig!
Is it the right rear caliper? That seems to be where quite a few have the dragging problem. Appreciate the moisture diagnosis, that could very well be the issue. We noticed that the dragging would go away when the system air was drained, which is why I never suspected moisture.
If you had the large gauge cables backwards, there would have been fireworks when you reconnected the batteries. Check that you indeed have +24 at the solenoid stud with a voltmeter. If so, the starter could be defective.
12.7 takes like 10 gallons of oil, super common filters. If it really needs an oil change (doubt it), run it to a 18 wheeler oil change place, they will have the filters on the shelf.

There are dozens of these waiting to be sold by Govplanet at Red River. They are all pitiful having been parked in the woods for years. That's before the GP people start handling them with a forklift, then the real damage begins.
Wegolook does this. But honestly unless the inspector was an Army wheeled vehicle mechanic or a specific Steelsoldiers member, he/she will not know where to start.
