Is that some sort of steam recovery unit on the front of the boiler?

This site has several really oddball steam traction engines.
Todays Extra pic is the last one, and they have no definitive idea what that big box is either.

It is a McLaren steam tractor with a superheater.
Superheaters could be added to an engine in a number of ways but McLaren favoured fitting them within the smokebox, this
resulted in a larger square smokebox beneath the chimney and a maze of pipe work leading from the top of the smokebox to the
cylinder. McLaren's superheater was a reasonably simple affair, steam was fed into two pipes then feed through two coils,
into a second set of coils before being combined together and piped into the cylinder. In 1910 they submitted a patent for
their Superheater arrangement, specification 27260.
