Anyone ever seen the 5 ton with a double side slide out box on the back?

There's no such thing as a 900 series... i suspect you mean 939series...
M934 is the expansible van, fairly common. M944 is the batwing thingy, as scarce as blue whales in a goldfish bowl. ..

It's this one.
Also pretty close to the worst 5 color "chocolate chip" desert paint jobs I've ever seen.

That appears to be a customized M35A3 2 1/2 ton truck, heavily influenced by the M934 and m109A4

The M934 variants expand.
The M109 variants don't.
That thing is a one-off custom job, like a combination of both.
The M934s are huge and ungainly. Let me find you a pic of my M925 on towbars behind one, for comparison.

The teeny looking little truck in the back is an M925 on 46" super singles, with a 14' bed.
You may find it interesting that I took this pic just outside of Las Vegas. ..

Would it also tow a trailer with two HMMWV's on it?

I stand corrected.
I saw the (false) claims of "M35A3" and "caterpillar" and didn't look closely at the truck itself.

The truck in front in the pic I posted is an M934A1.
They're rated for a 15k tow load, although they'll do quite a bit more.

That's an M934A2. It has an 8.3 liter turbodiesel.
All of the M934s handle horrifically. Much less maneuverable than the cargo variants, and extremely slow.
Example - single digits while climbing hills with the M925 on towbars. The 8.3 liter turbodiesel will do hills a little better, but not much....
You want a camper thingy to pull a couple of hmmwvs on a trailer? Maybe an M932A2 with a 109 box on the back, or better yet one of the otr truck derivatives like an m916.

Also in the 809 series there is the 820, same box that is on the 934, there is the same box on the 39 series 5t but I forgot the number, it is a strange number that does not fin it the number series (m51, m52, m54, m55), sorta like the 276

Dukenukem, the nature of your questions leads me to think you have no firsthand experience with these trucks.
If you get to tucson in June, be sure to come over and we'll take my M925 for a drive and get you some seat time that you can use to form your own opinions...
I plead sleepy last night while posting. I'm in the middle of a drive between Tucson and OKC. I'm in the megalopolis of van horn tx..... next stop is lindsey97's in OK. .
