I have never really understood how/why there is a cupola and pintle mount on a cargo container but....
That's for the "security container", right? Ash Wastes caravan raid is just a land version of a cargo fleet being hunted by pirates/submarines looking to steal/destroy goods and valuables. Theoretically we're supposed to have a good number of these cargo 8s on the table for authenticity so one or two security rigs protecting the packed to the ceiling cargo haulers should be configured a bit differently, I suppose.

If the security container is supposed to protect the caravan, what is this thing for (other than emptying our wallets)?

Looks like the lumbering, cooler cousin of the cargo-8. Seems like it would be the iron heart of the caravan carrying the most precious cargo if it likely weren’t the slowest vehicle of the bunch.

I figured it was for the front of a land train, as a tractor or whathaveyou.

That's just 40K Orc mentality infecting the other factions. "More Dakka" in the Empire translates to everything having guns and skulls, even the guns and skull have guns and skulls of their own. Cargo containers? Guns and skulls. Public transport? Guns and skulls, with extra guns. Coffee maker? You better believe your morning recaf comes from a skull that previously threatened you with a boltgun.

I'm sure it is all very confusing for those simple, rustic, peasants working on some pastoral, backwater agro-world.

"Oy! Why there be a skull wit a gun on the end of me shovel?"
"Because, ya dunce, tho other end looks like a gothic a'ch!"
"Oh. Okay. I s;pose that makes sense."

I Would like the tracked hauler. But its quit expensive. I only used 6 of the wheels not 8 when i build the land train so ill try to make a kit bash whit them but. We will see i have a few other projects i need to finish first.
