Can anyone share some information on these Mack wreckers? I have not been able to find much on the web.

This is the only picture I could find. Based on the front markings and the steering wheel on the right I think it is Australian or British. Pretty sweet truck!

The Australian's had them in service in 2004, used them for Iraq.

That one has a Holmes 750 wrecker body, most of them were refurbed with knucklebooms and underlifts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzV3Z8ScIhQ

That front end metal is strange. The hood looks to be a DM800 but the fenders look like a DM600.

They are not DM's because the cab it not offset

More like Rd 800's. Down under they call them Flintstones. When I was young one of my first trucks was a DM 800, not much HP, plenty of gears 18 speed twin stick and 55,000 lb. rears. I also drove a RD 600 I liked the center cab better than the offset.

I believe they are RM 800's or RM 685's The DM's or crab cabs as there called for the off set cab

The second truck has a very interesting bed with the crane and what appears to be troop seats in the front.

Was it an artillery prime mover?

Yup - they are Australian. Made in country.
The wreckers replaced their M816's.

There are a couple of former RAEME guys on here that occasionally contribute - but it's their summer now so are probably on the beach and not online!

Cargo versions too:
