Hi Rick,
Not enlarged it to look that closely, but to your point, as the track rod is behind the axle, and I have come across this a few times, a chain or rope has been passed over the axle and the track rod, by doing this it pulls the back of the wheels in giving excessive "toe out" when the vehicle is dragged out.
From your closer examination it seems more like the axle is detached. Interesting picture though, of both vehicles.
