Fitted with a special bucket it would have been an overloader primarily.

In another picture it had the overshot bucket included in the sale.

Caterpillar had various machines and attachments manufactured under licence by Birtley in England, Wright in South Africa, Steelweld in Australia and Fieldchief in New Zealand. I recall there being a French firm too if I'm not mistaken. I seem to recall a picture of a 40 scraper years ago that was produced in France.
These were all built to Cat's design specs, whereas those I see in your link where all of their own design.
