Thats right these are meant for Tanks and other armored vehicles. One can see them in large numbers at Babina stn on NCR. Projected Triangular shaped members also have arrangement for putting metal chains to secure the loads during transit. Also notice these flat cars have 3x2 axles as opposed to usual 2x2 for supporting higher loads.

These are VB wagons, able to carry battle tanks and other heavy vehicles.
